Finite-Time Stabilization of Multi-rate Networked Control System Based on Predictive Control.

This paper deals with the problem of finite-time stabilization for the multi-rate networked control system with network-induced time delays. In order to guarantee the finite-time stability and overcome the adverse impact of network-induced time delays in both sensor-to-controller channel and controller-to-actuator channel, a networked predictive control strategy is proposed based on multi-rate sampling mechanism. By utilizing the techniques of lifting and augmenting, the augmented closed-loop system is derived with a uniform sampling rate. By applying the Lyapunov stability theorem, sufficient conditions are established such that the multi-rate networked control system can be finite-time stabilized. Furthermore, the gain matrices are determined for the observer and the controller by solving bilinear matrix inequality or linear matrix inequality. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the validity of the obtained results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
