Stabilization of Linear Systems with Structured Perturbations
The problem of stabilization of linear systems with bounded structured uncertainties are considered in this paper. Two notions of stability, denoted quadratic stability (Q-stability) and μ-stability, are considered, and corresponding notions of stabilizability and detectability are defined. In both cases, the output feedback stabilization problem is reduced via a separation argument to two simpler problems: full information (FI) and full control (FC). The set of all stabilizing controllers can be parametrized as a linear fractional transformation (LFT) on a free stable parameter. For Q-stability, stabilizability and detectability can in turn be characterized by Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), and the FI and FC Q-stabilization problems can be solved using the corresponding LMIs. In the standard one-dimensional case the results in this paper reduce to well-known results on controller parametrization using state-space methods, although the development here relies more heavily on elegant LFT machinery and avoids the need for coprime factorizations
<i>H</i><sub>2</sub> and mixed <i>H</i><sub>2</sub>/<i>H</i><sub>∞</sub> Stabilization and Disturbance Attenuation for Differential Linear Repetitive Processes
Repetitive processes are a distinct class of two-dimensional systems (i.e., information propagation in two independent directions) of both systems theoretic and applications interest. A systems theory for them cannot be obtained by direct extension of existing techniques from standard (termed 1-D here) or, in many cases, two-dimensional (2-D) systems theory. Here, we give new results towards the development of such a theory in H2 and mixed H2/H∞ settings. These results are for the sub-class of so-called differential linear repetitive processes and focus on the fundamental problems of stabilization and disturbance attenuation

A sequence of random variables, all of which are mutually independent but obey the Bernoulli distribution, is introduced to account for the probabilistic communication delays. The measurement-missing phenomenon occurs in a random way. The missing probability for each sensor satisfies a certain probabilistic distribution in the interval. Here, the attention is focused on the analysis and design of H∞ fuzzy output-feedback controllers such that the closed-loop Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy-control system is exponentially stable in the mean square. The disturbance-rejection attenuation is constrained to a given level by means of the H∞-performance index. Intensive analysis is carried out to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of admissible output feedback controllers, which ensures the exponential stability as well as the prescribed H∞ performance. The cone-complementarity-linearization procedure is employed to cast the controller-design problem into a sequential minimization one that is solved by the semi-definite program method. Simulation results are utilized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design technique in this paper.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, U.K., under Grant GR/S27658/01, in part by the Royal Society, U.K., in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.This paper presents an overview of the recent developments in the gain-scheduled control and filtering problems for the parameter-varying systems. First of all, we recall several important algorithms suitable for gain-scheduling method including gain-scheduled proportional-integral derivative (PID) control, H 2, H ∞ and mixed H 2 / H ∞ gain-scheduling methods as well as fuzzy gain-scheduling techniques. Secondly, various important parameter-varying system models are reviewed, for which gain-scheduled control and filtering issues are usually dealt with. In particular, in view of the randomly occurring phenomena with time-varying probability distributions, some results of our recent work based on the probability-dependent gain-scheduling methods are reviewed. Furthermore, some latest progress in this area is discussed. Finally, conclusions are drawn and several potential future research directions are outlined.The National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61074016, 61374039, 61304010, and 61329301; the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK20130766; the Program for Professor of Special Appointment (Eastern Scholar) at Shanghai Institutions of Higher Learning; the Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University under Grant NCET-11-1051, the Leverhulme Trust of the U.K., the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Robust nonlinear control of vectored thrust aircraft
An interdisciplinary program in robust control for nonlinear systems with applications to a variety of engineering problems is outlined. Major emphasis will be placed on flight control, with both experimental and analytical studies. This program builds on recent new results in control theory for stability, stabilization, robust stability, robust performance, synthesis, and model reduction in a unified framework using Linear Fractional Transformations (LFT's), Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI's), and the structured singular value micron. Most of these new advances have been accomplished by the Caltech controls group independently or in collaboration with researchers in other institutions. These recent results offer a new and remarkably unified framework for all aspects of robust control, but what is particularly important for this program is that they also have important implications for system identification and control of nonlinear systems. This combines well with Caltech's expertise in nonlinear control theory, both in geometric methods and methods for systems with constraints and saturations
New positive realness conditions for uncertain discrete descriptor systems: Analysis and synthesis
This paper deals with the problems of positive real (PR) analysis and PR control for uncertain discrete-time descriptor systems. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-invariant norm bounded and appear in both the state and input matrices. A new necessary and sufficient condition for a discrete-time descriptor system to be regular, causal, stable and extended strictly PR (ESPR) is proposed in terms of a strict linear matrix inequality. Based on this, the concepts of strong robust admissibility with ESPR and strong robust admissibilizability with ESPR were introduced. Without any additional assumptions on the system matrices, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong robust admissibility with ESPR and strong robust admissibilizability with ESPR are obtained. Through these results, the problems of PR analysis and PR control are solved. Furthermore, an explicit expression of a desired state feedback controller is also given, which involves no decomposition of the system matrices. © 2004 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

Robust L2–L∞ control of uncertain differential linear repetitive processes
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link - Copyright 2008 Elsevier LtdFor two-dimensional (2-D) systems, information propagates in two independent directions. 2-D systems are known to have both system-theoretical and applications interest, and the so-called linear repetitive processes (LRPs) are a distinct class of 2-D discrete linear systems. This paper is concerned with the problem of L2–L∞ (energy to peak) control for uncertain differential LRPs, where the parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. For an unstable LRP, our attention is focused on the design of an L2–L∞ static state feedback controller and an L2–L∞ dynamic output feedback controller, both of which guarantee the corresponding closed-loop LRPs to be stable along the pass and have a prescribed L2–L∞ performance. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such L2–L∞ controllers are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The desired L2–L∞ dynamic output feedback controller can be found by solving a convex optimization problem. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller design procedures.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Nuffield Foundation of the UK under Grant NAL/00630/G, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
H∞ filtering for nonlinear discrete-time stochastic systems with randomly varying sensor delays
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obained from the link - Copyright 2009 Elsevier LtdThis paper is concerned with the H∞ filtering problem for a general class of nonlinear discrete-time stochastic systems with randomly varying sensor delays, where the delayed sensor measurement is governed by a stochastic variable satisfying the Bernoulli random binary distribution law. In terms of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs inequalities, preliminary results are first obtained that ensure the addressed system to possess an l2-gain less than a given positive scalar γ. Next, a sufficient condition is established under which the filtering process is asymptotically stable in the mean square and the filtering error satisfies the H∞ performance constraint for all nonzero exogenous disturbances under the zero-initial condition. Such a sufficient condition is then decoupled into four inequalities for the purpose of easy implementation. Furthermore, it is shown that our main results can be readily specialized to the case of linear stochastic systems. Finally, a numerical simulation example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results derived.This paper was not presented at any IFAC meeting.

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
