Improved Results on Asymptotic Stabilization for Stochastic Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems With Application to a Chemical Reactor System.

The global asymptotic stabilization problem is investigated for a class of stochastic nonlinear time-varying delay systems under the weaker condition on nonlinear functions. The new parameter-dependent state and output feedback controllers are, respectively, proposed. Based on the stochastic time-delay system stability criterion, by tactfully introducing a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the globally asymptotically stable in probability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by rigorous proof. As a practical application, the stochastic model of a two-stage chemical reactor system is established by reasonably introducing the Gaussian white noise. The developed approach is applied to the control design for this practical system. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed design approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
