Stabilization for sampled-data systems under noisy sampling interval

In engineering practice, the sampling interval for a sampled-data system often fluctuates around a nominal/ ideal value based on certain probability distributions that can be specified a priori through statistical tests. In this paper, a fundamental stabilization problem is investigated for a class of sampled-data systems under noisy sampling interval. The stochastic sampled-data control system under consideration is first converted into a discrete-time system whose system matrix is represented as an equivalent yet tractable form via the matrix exponential computation. Then, by introducing a Vandermonde matrix, the mathematical expectation of the quadratic form of the system matrix is computed. By recurring to the Kronecker product operation, the sampled-data stabilization controller is designed such that the closedloop system is stochastically stable in the presence of noisy sampling interval. Subsequently, a special case is considered where the sampling interval obeys the continuous uniform distribution and the corresponding stabilization controller is designed. Finally, a numerical simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design approach.National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61473076 and 6132930

Dissipative Analysis and Synthesis of Control for TS Fuzzy Markovian Jump Neutral Systems

This paper is focused on stochastic stability and strictly dissipative control design for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy neutral time delayed control systems with Markovian jumps. The main aim of this paper is to design a strictly dissipative controller such that the closed-loop TS fuzzy control system is stochastically stable, and also the disturbance rejection attenuation is obtained to a given level by means of the H∞ performance index. Intensive analysis is carried out to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of desired dissipative controller which ensures both the stochastic stability and the strictly dissipative performance. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that it is possible to obtain the dissipative controller with less control effort and also, as special cases, robust H∞ control with the prescribed H∞ performance under given constraints and passivity control can be obtained for the considered systems. Also, the existence condition of the fuzzy dissipative controller can be obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a practical example based on truck-trailer model is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed design technique
