Stability and Control of Uncertain Systems

In this paper, it is shown that the problem of checking the solvability of a bilinear matrix inequality (BMI), is NP-hard. A matrix valued function, F(X,Y), is called bilinear if it is linear with respect to each of its arguments, and an inequality of the form, F(X,Y)>0 is called a bilinear matrix inequality. Recently…

Two broad approaches to the active control of large flexible systems are compared, namely, coupled control and independent modal-space control. The basic difference between the two approaches lies in the manner in which the feedback controls are designed. The two methods are compared qualitatively from design and comp…

Owing to their distributed architecture, networked control systems (NCSs) are proven to be feasible in scenarios where a spatially distributed feedback control system is required. Traditionally, such NCSs operate over real-time wired networks. Recently, in order to achieve the utmost flexibility, scalability, ease of…

Networked control systems (NCSs) are digital control systems in which the functionality of the sensor, control, and actuator reside in physically different computer nodes communicating over a network. However, random delays and data loss of the communication network can endanger the stability of an NCS. We have propos…

Robust flight control laws based on variable structure control (VSC) theory and Lyapunov V-function method are designed for a simplified aircraft model F-18. A min-max control (MMC) and VSC laws are derived, for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with plant uncertainties and input disturbance. Two types of robust…

This paper addresses the asymptotic stability of switched time delay systems with heterogeneous time invariant time delays. Piecewise Lyapunov–Razumikhin functions are introduced for the switching candidate systems to investigate the stability in the presence of an infinite number of switchings. We provide sufficient…

This paper presents a simple formula for H/sup /spl infin// optimal and suboptimal controllers for unstable SISO distributed plants, with rational weighting functions. The controller is expressed in terms of i) inner and outer parts of the plant, ii) a finite dimensional spectral factor obtained from the weighting fun…

Robust stability for uncertain systems with time-varying delay is investigated. An improved linear matrix inequality-based robust delay-dependent stability test is introduced to ensure a larger upper bound for time-varying delays affecting the state vector of an uncertain continuous-time system with norm-bounded type…
