Stability analysis and control design for 2-D fuzzy systems via basis-dependent Lyapunov functions

This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis and stabilization for two-dimensional (2-D) discrete fuzzy systems. The 2-D fuzzy system model is established based on the Fornasini-Marchesini local state-space model, and a control design procedure is proposed based on a relaxed approach in which basis-dependent Lyapunov functions are used. First, nonquadratic stability conditions are derived by means of linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Then, by introducing an additional instrumental matrix variable, the stabilization problem for 2-D fuzzy systems is addressed, with LMI conditions obtained for the existence of stabilizing controllers. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed design methods based on basis-dependent Lyapunov functions are shown via two examples. © 2011 The Author(s).published_or_final_versionSpringer Open Choice, 28 May 201

H∞ control for 2-D time-delay systems with randomly occurring nonlinearities under sensor saturation and missing measurements

In this paper, the H∞ output-feedback control problem is investigated for a class of two-dimensional (2-D) nonlinear systems with time-varying delays under imperfect measurements. Randomly occurring nonlinearities (RONs) are introduced in the system to account for probabilistic nonlinear disturbances typically caused by networked environments and governed by a sequence of random variables obeying the Bernoulli distribution. The imperfect measurement outputs are subject to both data missing and randomly occurring sensor saturations (ROSSs), which are put forward to characterize the network-induced phenomena such as probabilistic communication failures and limited capacity of the communication devices. The aim of this paper is to design an output-feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable in the mean square and the prescribed H∞ performance index is satisfied. Sufficient conditions are presented by resorting to intensive stochastic analysis and matrix inequality techniques, which not only guarantee the existence of the desired controllers for all possible time-delays, RONs, missing measurements and ROSSs but also lead to the explicit expressions of such controllers. Finally, a numerical simulation example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61174136, 61134009 and 61329301, the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK20130017, the “333 Project” Foundation of Jiangsu Province, the Programme for New Century Excellent Talents in University under Grant NCET-12-0117, the Royal Society of the U.K., and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

A constructive approach to stabilizability and stabilization of a class of nD systems

This paper presents a constructive approach to the problem of output feedback stabilizability and stabilization of a class of linear multidimensional (nD, N > 2) systems, whose varieties of the ideals generated by the reduced minors are infinite with respect to not more than two variables. The main idea of the proposed approach is to decompose the variety of an nD system in this class into a union of several varieties, each of which is defined by polynomials in just two variables. The new method can be considered as a combination of Gröbner bases and existing results on two-dimensional (2D) digital filter stability tests and on stabilizability and stabilization of 2D systems.
