New summation inequalities and their applications to discrete-time delay systems
This paper provides new summation inequalities in both single and double
forms to be used in stability analysis of discrete-time systems with
time-varying delays. The potential capability of the newly derived inequalities
is demonstrated by establishing less conservative stability conditions for a
class of linear discrete-time systems with an interval time-varying delay in
the framework of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness and least
conservativeness of the derived stability conditions are shown by academic and
practical examples.Comment: 15 pages, 01 figur
Networked control systems in the presence of scheduling protocols and communication delays
This paper develops the time-delay approach to Networked Control Systems
(NCSs) in the presence of variable transmission delays, sampling intervals and
communication constraints. The system sensor nodes are supposed to be
distributed over a network. Due to communication constraints only one node
output is transmitted through the communication channel at once. The scheduling
of sensor information towards the controller is ruled by a weighted
Try-Once-Discard (TOD) or by Round-Robin (RR) protocols. Differently from the
existing results on NCSs in the presence of scheduling protocols (in the
frameworks of hybrid and discrete-time systems), we allow the communication
delays to be greater than the sampling intervals. A novel hybrid system model
for the closed-loop system is presented that contains {\it time-varying delays
in the continuous dynamics and in the reset conditions}. A new
Lyapunov-Krasovskii method, which is based on discontinuous in time Lyapunov
functionals is introduced for the stability analysis of the delayed hybrid
systems. Polytopic type uncertainties in the system model can be easily
included in the analysis. The efficiency of the time-delay approach is
illustrated on the examples of uncertain cart-pendulum and of batch reactor
Dissipative Stabilization of Linear Systems with Time-Varying General Distributed Delays (Complete Version)
New methods are developed for the stabilization of a linear system with
general time-varying distributed delays existing at the system's states, inputs
and outputs. In contrast to most existing literature where the function of
time-varying delay is continuous and bounded, we assume it to be bounded and
measurable. Furthermore, the distributed delay kernels can be any
square-integrable function over a bounded interval, where the kernels are
handled directly by using a decomposition scenario without using
approximations. By constructing a Krasovski\u{i} functional via the application
of a novel integral inequality, sufficient conditions for the existence of a
dissipative state feedback controller are derived in terms of matrix
inequalities without utilizing the existing reciprocally convex combination
lemmas. The proposed synthesis (stability) conditions, which take dissipativity
into account, can be either solved directly by a standard numerical solver of
semidefinite programming if they are convex, or reshaped into linear matrix
inequalities, or solved via a proposed iterative algorithm. To the best of our
knowledge, no existing methods can handle the synthesis problem investigated in
this paper. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.Comment: Accepted by Automatic
Systems control theory applied to natural and synthetic musical sounds
Systems control theory is a far developped field which helps to study stability, estimation and control of dynamical systems. The physical behaviour of musical instruments, once described by dynamical systems, can then be controlled and numerically simulated for many purposes.
The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to provide the theoretical background on linear system theory, both in continuous and discrete time, mainly in the case of a finite number of degrees of freedom ; second, to give illustrative examples on wind instruments, such as the vocal tract represented as a waveguide, and a sliding flute
An improved stability criterion for linear time-varying delay systems
This paper considers the stability problem of linear systems with time-varying delays. A modified LyapunovâKrasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed, which consists of delay-dependent matrices and double integral items under two time-varying subintervals. Based on the modified LKF, a less conservative stability criterion than some previous ones is derived. Furthermore, to obtain a tighter bound of the integral terms, the quadratic generalized free-weighting matrix inequality (QGFMI) is fully applied to different delay subintervals, which further reduces the conservatism of the stability criterion. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach
