    We present a set of results concerning the existence of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals for classes of nonlinear switched systems with time-delay. In particular, we first present a result for positive systems that relaxes conditions recently described in \cite{SunWang} for the existence of L-K functionals. We also provide related conditions for positive coupled differential-difference positive systems and for systems of neutral type that are not necessarily positive. Finally, corresponding results for discrete-time systems are described.Comment: 19 Page

    We present a condition for delay-independent stability of a class of nonlinear positive systems. This result applies to systems that are not necessarily monotone and extends recent work on cooperative nonlinear systems.Comment: 9 page

    New advances in H∞ control and filtering for nonlinear systems

    Get PDF
    The main objective of this special issue is to summarise recent advances in H∞ control and filtering for nonlinear systems, including time-delay, hybrid and stochastic systems. The published papers provide new ideas and approaches, clearly indicating the advances made in problem statements, methodologies or applications with respect to the existing results. The special issue also includes papers focusing on advanced and non-traditional methods and presenting considerable novelties in theoretical background or experimental setup. Some papers present applications to newly emerging fields, such as network-based control and estimation

    Integral Input-to-State Stability of Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems with Delay-Dependent Impulse Effects

    Full text link
    This paper studies integral input-to-state stability (iISS) of nonlinear impulsive systems with time-delay in both the continuous dynamics and the impulses. Several iISS results are established by using the method of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. For impulsive systems with iISS continuous dynamics and destabilizing impulses, we derive two iISS criteria that guarantee the uniform iISS of the whole system provided that the time period between two successive impulse moments is appropriately bounded from below. Then we provide an iISS result for systems with unstable continuous dynamics and stabilizing impulses. For this scenario, it is shown that the iISS properties are guaranteed if the impulses occur frequently enough. For impulsive systems with stabilizing impulses and stable continuous dynamics for zero input, we obtain an iISS result which shows that the entire system is uniformly iISS over arbitrary impulse time sequences. As applications, iISS properties of a class of bilinear systems are studied in details with simulations to demonstrate the presented results

    For the class of MIMO minimal LTI systems controlled by an estimation based multiple model switched adaptive controller (EMMSAC), bounds are obtained for the closed loop lp gain, 1 ? p ? ?, from the input and output disturbances to the internal signals
