The problem of $ L_1 $ L 1 output tracking control of positive linear systems in finite time is addressed in this paper. By constructing a linear copositive Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, some sufficient conditions are achieved to ensure that the states are finite-time bounded and the measurement outputs have $ L_1- $ L 1 − gain performance for given systems, respectively. Next, a state feedback controller is designed to ensure that the output signals of the tracking system can effectively trace the specified signals of reference model with finite-time boundedness and $ L_1 $ L 1 -gain performance. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is concerned with the absolute and robust stability for a class of neutral-type Lur'e systems with an interval time-varying delay and sector-bounded nonlinearity. By discretising the delay interval into two segmentations with an unequal width, new delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the absolute and robust stability of neutral-type Lur'e systems are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by employing a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF). These conditions reduce the conservativeness in computing the maximum allowed delay bounds (MADBs) in many cases. Finally, several standard numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
