Abstract: | ABSTRACTIn this paper, the problem of finite-time stability and stabilisation for positive singular discrete-time linear systems with time-varying delay is investigated. We first present novel delay-dependent sufficient conditions for positivity and finite-time stability of the unforced systems. We then apply the obtained results to solve finite-time stabilisation problem of the considered systems. The sufficient conditions for the positivity and finite-time stabilisable of such systems are formulated in terms of a standard linear programming (LP) problem. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of our results. |
