Reliable anti-synchronization conditions for BAM memristive neural networks with different memductance functions

This paper is concerned with anti-synchronization results for a class of memristor-based bidirectional associate memory (BAM) neural networks with different memductance functions and time-varying delays. Based on drive-response system concept, differential inclusions theory and Lyapunov stability theory, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the reliable asymptotic anti-synchronization criterion for memristor-based BAM networks. The memristive BAM neural network is formulated for two types of memductance functions. Sufficient results are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed criterion is demonstrated through numerical example.

Robust reliable sampled-data control for switched systems with application to flight control

abstract This paper addresses the robust reliable stabilisation problem for a class of uncertain switched systems with random delays and norm bounded uncertainties. The main aim of this paper is to obtain the reliable robust sampled-data control design which involves random time delay with an appropriate gain control matrix for achieving the robust exponential stabilisation for uncertain switched system against actuator failures. In particular, the involved delays are assumed to be randomly time-varying which obeys certain mutually uncorrelated Bernoulli distributed white noise sequences. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) and employing an average-dwell time approach, a new set of criteria is derived for ensuring the robust exponential stability of the closed-loop switched system. More precisely, the Schur complement and Jensens integral inequality are used in derivation of stabilisation criteria. By considering the relationship among the random time-varying delay and its lower and upper bounds, a new set of sufficient condition is established for the existence of reliable robust sampled-data control in terms of solution to linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, an illustrative example based on the F-18 aircraft model is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures.

Robust reliable control design for networked control system with sampling communication

In this article, the problem of robust exponential stability and reliable stabilisation for a class of continuous-time networked control systems (NCSs) with a sample-data controller and unknown time-varying sampling rate is considered. The analysis is based on average dwell-time, Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. The delay-dependent criteria are developed for ensuring the robust exponential stability of the considered NCSs. The obtained conditions are formulated in terms of LMIs that can easily be solved by using standard software packages. Furthermore, the result is extended to study the robust stabilisation for NCS with parameter uncertainties. A state feedback controller is constructed in terms of the solution to a set of LMIs, which guarantee the robust exponential stabilisation of NCS and the controller. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Reliable dissipative control of high-speed train with probabilistic time-varying delays

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the reliable dissipative control problem for high-speed trains (HSTs) under probabilistic time-varying sampling with a known upper bound on the sampling intervals. In particular, random variables obeying the Bernoulli distribution are considered to account for the probabilistic time-varying delays. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach which considers full use of the available information about actual sampling pattern, a new set of sufficient condition is established to guarantee that the HST can well track the desired speed and the relative spring displacement between the two neighbouring carriages is asymptotically stable and the corresponding error system is strictly -dissipative. The existence condition of the dissipativity-based reliable sampled-data controller is obtained in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities which are delay-distribution-dependent, i.e. the solvability of the condition depends on not only the variation range of the delay but also the probability distribution of it. Moreover, different control processes for the HST system can be obtained from the proposed design procedure and hence it can reduce the time and cost. Finally, the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed control law is demonstrated through a numerical example by taking the experimental values of Japan Shinkansen HST.

Robust reliable control of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems subject to actuator fault

This paper addresses the issue of robust reliable stabilization for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems with both discrete and distributed time-varying delays and possible occurrence of actuator faults. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional and using linear matrix inequality technique, a new set of sufficient conditions is established for the stochastic stability of the uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems. Then, sufficient conditions are obtained for the solvability of the robust stabilization problem via robust reliable controller. More precisely, the derived control law guarantees the robust stabilization of nonlinear stochastic systems in the presence of known actuator failure matrix and uncertainties. Further, the results are extended to study the stabilization of stochastic systems with unknown actuator failure matrix. Moreover, the obtained criteria are formulated in terms of LMIs and also the reliable controller can be designed in terms of the solutions to certain linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples with simulation result are presented to demonstrate the validity and less conservatism of the obtained results.

Robust Finite-Time Passivity for Discrete-Time Genetic Regulatory Networks with Markovian Jumping Parameters

Abstract This article addresses the issue of robust finite-time passivity for a class of uncertain discrete-time genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with time-varying delays and Markovian jumping parameters. By constructing a proper Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional involving the lower and upper bounds of time delays, a new set of sufficient conditions is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which guarantees the finite-time boundedness and finite-time passivity of the addressed GRNs for all admissible uncertainties and satisfies the given passive performance index. More precisely, the conditions are obtained with respect to the finite-time interval, while the exogenous disturbances are unknown but energy bounded. Furthermore, the Schur complement together with reciprocally convex optimisation approach is used to simplify the derivation in the main results. Finally, three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the obtained results.

Reliable gain-scheduled control of discrete-time systems and its application to CSTR model

ABSTRACT This paper is focused on reliable gain-scheduled controller design for a class of discrete-time systems with randomly occurring nonlinearities and actuator fault. Further, the nonlinearity in the system model is assumed to occur randomly according to a Bernoulli distribution with measurable time-varying probability in real time. The main purpose of this paper is to design a gain-scheduled controller by implementing a probability-dependent Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach such that the closed-loop discrete-time system is stochastically stable for all admissible randomly occurring nonlinearities. The existence conditions for the reliable controller is formulated in terms of LMI constraints. Finally, the proposed reliable gain-scheduled control scheme is applied on continuously stirred tank reactor model to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design technique.

Dissipative Analysis and Synthesis of Control for TS Fuzzy Markovian Jump Neutral Systems

This paper is focused on stochastic stability and strictly dissipative control design for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy neutral time delayed control systems with Markovian jumps. The main aim of this paper is to design a strictly dissipative controller such that the closed-loop TS fuzzy control system is stochastically stable, and also the disturbance rejection attenuation is obtained to a given level by means of the performance index. Intensive analysis is carried out to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of desired dissipative controller which ensures both the stochastic stability and the strictly dissipative performance. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that it is possible to obtain the dissipative controller with less control effort and also, as special cases, robust control with the prescribed performance under given constraints and passivity control can be obtained for the considered systems. Also, the existence condition of the fuzzy dissipative controller can be obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a practical example based on truck-trailer model is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed design technique.
