The main purpose is to obtain a stable and proper linear filter such that the filtering error system is strictly dissipative. A new criterion for the dissipativity of neutral systems is first provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Then, an LMI sufficient condition for the existence of a robust filter is established and a design procedure is proposed for this type of systems. Two numerical examples are given. One illustrates the less conservativeness of the proposed criterion; the other demonstrates the validity of the filtering design procedure.展开更多

The system considered is continuous in time with norm bounded parametric uncertainties. By incorporating the free weighing matrix approach developed recently, some new delay-dependent stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) with some tuning parameters are obtained. An estimate of the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system under a priori designed controller is proposed. The approach is based on a polytopic description of the actuator saturation nonlinearities and the Lyapunov- Krasovskii method. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.展开更多

The attention is focused on the design of output feedback controllers which guarantee the asymptotical stability of the closed-loop systems. Based on the model transformation of neutral type, the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method is employed to establish the delay-dependent stability criterion. Then, through the controller parameterization and some matrix transformation techniques, the desired parameters are determined under the delay-dependent design condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the desired controller is explicitly formulated. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The less conservative delaydependent stability criteria for this system are proposed by applying new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and novel polynomials with time-varying delay (PTVD) compensation technique. The aim to deal with systems with fast-varying neutral-type delay can be achieved by using the new functional. The benefit brought by applying the PTVD compensation technique is that some useful elements can be included in criteria, which are generally ignored when estimating the upper bound of derivative of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. A numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.展开更多

By re-constructing the system, the dynamics of overall augmented error systems is obtained which involves unknown inputs represented by disturbances, model uncertainties and time-delays. As to the nominal system, sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of the mode-dependent H∞ filter by selecting the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and the robust H∞ filter is proposed for the jump system while considering the time-delays and uncertainties. Both of above conditions for the existence of the H∞ filter and roust H∞ filter are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities, and convex optimization problems are formulated to design the desired filters. By employing the proposed mode-dependent H∞ filter, the systems have the stochastic stability and better ability of restraining disturbances stochastically, and the given prescribed H∞ performance is guaranteed. Simulation resuhs illustrate the effectiveness of developed techniques.展开更多
