On Computing the Worst-case H∞ Performance of Lur'e Systems with Uncertain Time-invariant Delays

This paper presents a worst-case H∞ performance analysis for Lur'e systems with time-invariant delays. The sucient condition to guarantee an upper bound of worst-case performance is developed based on the delay-partitioning Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional containing the integral of sector-bounded nonlinearities. Using Jensen inequality and S-procedure, the delay-dependent criterion is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. In addition, we extend the criterion to compute the worst-case performance for Lur'e systems subject to norm-bounded uncertainties by using a matrix eliminating lemma. Numerical results show that our criterion provide the least upper bound on the worst-case H∞ performance comparing to the criteria derived based on existing techniques

New Results on Stability Analysis of Uncertain Neutral-Type Lur'e Systems Derived from a Modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional

This paper is concerned with the problem of the absolute and robustly absolute stability for the uncertain neutral-type Lur’e system with time-varying delays. By introducing a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) related to a delay-product-type function and two delay-dependent matrices, some new delay-dependent robustly absolute stability criteria are proposed, which can be expressed as convex linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. The criteria proposed in this paper are less conservative than some recent previous ones. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach

An improved stability criterion for discrete-time time-delayed Lur’e systemwith sector-bounded nonlinearities

The absolute stability problem of discrete-time time-delayed Lur\u27e systems with sector bounded nonlinearities is investigated in this paper. Firstly, a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is designed with augmenting additional double summation terms, which complements more coupling information between the delay intervals and other system state variables than some previous LKFs. Secondly, some improved delay-dependent absolute stability criteria based on linear matrix inequality form (LMI) are proposed via the modified LKF and the relaxed free-matrix-based summation inequality technique application. The stability criteria are less conservative than some results previously proposed. The reduction of the conservatism mainly relies on the full use of the relaxed summation inequality technique based on the modified LKF. Finally, two common numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach

Modelling and Adaptive Control; Proceedings of an IIASA Conference, Sopron, Hungary, July 1986

One of the main purposes of the workshop on Modelling and Adaptive Control at Sopron, Hungary, was to give an overview of both traditional and recent approaches to the twin theories of modelling and control which ultimately must incorporate some degree of uncertainty. The broad spectrum of processes for which solutions of some of these problems were proposed was itself a testament to the vitality of research on these fundamental issues. In particular, these proceedings contain new methods for the modelling and control of discrete event systems, linear systems, nonlinear dynamics and stochastic processes
