This article concerns the admissibility analysis of singular time-delay systems. The aim is to get superior criteria in both low conservativeness and less decision variables. To this end, the systems are decomposed and treated with different methods. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) are constructed based on the state decomposition. By using tighter integral inequalities and the free weighting matrix method, some new admissibility criteria are derived to compare with the previous results, and are applied to the partial element equivalent circuits (PEECs) in numerical examples, by which the advantages of the proposed method are verified.

This article focuses on the finite-time asynchronous output feedback control scheme for a class of Markov jump systems subject to external disturbances and nonlinearities. The conic-type nonlinearities hold a constraint condition which locates in a known hyper-sphere with an indefinite center. In addition, the asynchronization phenomenon occurs between the system and the controller, which can be represented by means of a hidden Markov model. A sufficient condition is derived not only to guarantee the finite-time boundedness of the acquired closed-loop systems but also to possess a desired $H_{\infty }$ performance on the basis of Lyapunov functional technique. Finally, the validity and feasibility of the proposed method are demonstrated with a dc-motor experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article study the asynchronous control problem for a class of discrete-time Markovian jumping Lur’e systems (MJLSs) over the finite-time interval. The partial accessibility of system modes with respect to the designed controller is described by a hidden Markov model (HMM). The asynchronous control law consists of two parts, i.e., the states and the nonlinearities involved in the dynamics of the controlled system. By selecting the appropriate Lyapunov functional and applying the modified sector condition, the finite-time stabilization conditions under the control constraints are derived. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed method is verified by an illustrative simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with the sliding mode control (SMC) via finite-time stabilization (FTS) for a class of conic-type nonlinear semi-Markovian jumping systems (SMJSs). Comparing with the classical Markovian jumping systems, the transition rates of SMJSs are related to the random sojourn-time $g$. Based on this, a suitable SMC law for driving the state trajectories to the designed sliding surface within a finite-time interval is given. Then, the FTS over reaching phase and sliding motion phase is further proved to guarantee the FTS of the whole SMJSs. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a time-delayed Chua’s circuit simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the $ {H}_{ {\infty }}$ sliding mode control (SMC) problem for a class of discrete-time conic-type nonlinear systems with time-delays and uncertainties. The nonlinear terms satisfy the conic-type constraint condition that lies in a know hyper-sphere with an uncertain center. By choosing a proper Lyapunov candidate, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the asymptotic stability of the sliding mode dynamics while achieving a prescribed $ {H}_{ {\infty }}$ disturbance attenuation level and finally converted into a minimization problem. The controller is constructed to guarantee the discrete-time reach condition and maintain the states on the prespecified sliding surface. A simulation result and a practical example related to the Chua’s circuit are given at last to show the validity of our SMC strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the asynchronous resilient controller design problem for a class of nonlinear switched systems with time-delays and uncertainties in a given finite-time interval. By constructing proper multiple Lyapunov–Krasovskii functions and applying average dwell time methods, a switching law and the relevant asynchronous resilient controller are designed to guarantee the finite-time boundedness of the closed-loop system with a specified ${H} _{\infty }$ performance index. The ${H} _{\infty }$ resilient controller design problems can be derived by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. A practical example is employed to demonstrate the availability of the proposed methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The finite-time sliding mode controller design problem of a class of conic-type nonlinear systems with time-delays and mismatched external disturbance is studied. The time-delay conic nonlinearities are considered to lie in a known hypersphere with an uncertain center. A scalar selection criterion dependent sliding mode control (SMC) law is constructed to drive the state trajectories onto the specified sliding surface during any assigned short time interval. By using slack matrix approach, a delay-dependent sufficient condition is derived to ensure the finite-time boundedness of the closed-loop systems over the finite-time interval. Then, the algorithm for designing the finite-time SMC law is established. Finally, two examples related to the time-delayed Chua’s circuit is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the state estimation problem for singularly perturbed switched complex dynamic networks (CDNs) is addressed, in which the persistent dwell-time (DT) switching mechanism is employed to depict the switchings among parameters of each node. In the aforementioned switching mechanism, the concept of stage consisting of the persistent portion and the DT portion is introduced. Based on the singular perturbation theory, a two-time-scaling variables containing fast and slow states are taken into account on the CDNs simultaneously, which make the constructed networks more realistic. Furthermore, the main aim is to design a mode-dependent estimator to track the state information that cannot be directly obtained and further ensures the global uniform exponential stability of the investigated systems with a generalized dissipativity property. Some sufficient criteria on the existence of the desired mode-dependent state estimator are established by utilizing a modified matrix decoupling method. Finally, the availability of the estimator design procedures is verified by a simulation example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
