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
Joint Spectral Radius and Path-Complete Graph Lyapunov Functions
We introduce the framework of path-complete graph Lyapunov functions for
approximation of the joint spectral radius. The approach is based on the
analysis of the underlying switched system via inequalities imposed among
multiple Lyapunov functions associated to a labeled directed graph. Inspired by
concepts in automata theory and symbolic dynamics, we define a class of graphs
called path-complete graphs, and show that any such graph gives rise to a
method for proving stability of the switched system. This enables us to derive
several asymptotically tight hierarchies of semidefinite programming
relaxations that unify and generalize many existing techniques such as common
quadratic, common sum of squares, and maximum/minimum-of-quadratics Lyapunov
functions. We compare the quality of approximation obtained by certain classes
of path-complete graphs including a family of dual graphs and all path-complete
graphs with two nodes on an alphabet of two matrices. We provide approximation
guarantees for several families of path-complete graphs, such as the De Bruijn
graphs, establishing as a byproduct a constructive converse Lyapunov theorem
for maximum/minimum-of-quadratics Lyapunov functions.Comment: To appear in SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization. Version 2 has

A review on analysis and synthesis of nonlinear stochastic systems with randomly occurring incomplete information
Copyright q 2012 Hongli Dong et al. 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.In the context of systems and control, incomplete information refers to a dynamical system in which knowledge about the system states is limited due to the difficulties in modeling complexity in a quantitative way. The well-known types of incomplete information include parameter uncertainties and norm-bounded nonlinearities. Recently, in response to the development of network technologies, the phenomenon of randomly occurring incomplete information has become more and more prevalent. Such a phenomenon typically appears in a networked environment. Examples include, but are not limited to, randomly occurring uncertainties, randomly occurring nonlinearities, randomly occurring saturation, randomly missing measurements and randomly occurring quantization. Randomly occurring incomplete information, if not properly handled, would seriously deteriorate the performance of a control system. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the analysis and synthesis problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with randomly occurring incomplete information. The developments of the filtering, control and fault detection problems are systematically reviewed. Latest results on analysis and synthesis of nonlinear stochastic systems are discussed in great detail. In addition, various distributed filtering technologies over sensor networks are highlighted. Finally, some concluding remarks are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out. © 2012 Hongli Dong et al.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61273156, 61134009, 61273201, 61021002, and 61004067, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Royal Society of the UK, the National Science Foundation of the USA under Grant No. HRD-1137732, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of German
Stability of stochastic impulsive differential equations: integrating the cyber and the physical of stochastic systems
According to Newton's second law of motion, we humans describe a dynamical
system with a differential equation, which is naturally discretized into a
difference equation whenever a computer is used. The differential equation is
the physical model in human brains and the difference equation the cyber model
in computers for the dynamical system. The physical model refers to the
dynamical system itself (particularly, a human-designed system) in the physical
world and the cyber model symbolises it in the cyber counterpart. This paper
formulates a hybrid model with impulsive differential equations for the
dynamical system, which integrates its physical model in real world/human
brains and its cyber counterpart in computers. The presented results establish
a theoretic foundation for the scientific study of control and communication in
the animal/human and the machine (Norbert Wiener) in the era of rise of the
machines as well as a systems science for cyber-physical systems (CPS)
