In this paper, a MIMO PI design procedure is proposed for linear time invariant (LTI) systems with multiple time delays. The controller tuning is established in two stages and guarantees performances for set-point changes, disturbance variations, and parametric uncertainties. In the first stage, an iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) approach is extended to design PI controllers for systems with multiple time delays without performance guarantee, a priori. The second stage is devoted to improve the closed-loop performances by minimizing sensitivity functions. Simulations results carried out on the unstable distillation column, the stable industrial scale polymerization (ISP) reactor, and the non-minimum phase 4-tank benchmark prove the efficiency of the proposed approach. A comparative analysis with the conventional internal model control (IMC) approach, a multiloop IMC-PI approach, and a previous ILMI PID approach proves the superiority of the proposed approach compared to the related ones.

The fault detection problem for a class of wireless networked control systems is investigated. A Bernoulli distributed parameter is introduced in modeling the system dynamics; moreover, multiple time delays arising in the communication are taken into account. The detection observer for tracking the system states is designed, which generates both the state errors and the output errors. By adopting the linear matrix inequality method, a sufficient condition for the stability of wireless networked control systems with stochastic uncertainties and multiple time delays is proposed, and the gain of the fault detection observer is obtained. Finally, an illustrated example is provided to show that the observer designed in this paper tracks the system states well when there is no fault in the systems; however, when fault happens, the observer residual signal rises rapidly and the fault can be quickly detected, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

This paper deals with the class of uncertain systems with multiple time delays. The stability and stabilizability of this class of systems are considered. Their robustness are also studied when the norm-bounded uncertainties are considered. Linear matrix inequality (LMIs) delay-dependent sufficient conditions for both stability and stabilizability and their robustness are established to check if a system of this class is stable and/or is stabilizable. Some numerical examples are provided to show the usefulness of the proposed results.

A novel treatment for the stability of a class of linear time invariant (LTI) systems with rationally independent multiple time delays using the Direct Method (DM) is studied. Since they appear in many practical applications in the systems and control community, this class of dynamics has attracted considerable interest. The stability analysis is very complex because of the infinite dimensional nature (even for single delay) of the dynamics and furthermore the multiplicity of these delays. The stability problem is much more challenging compared to the TDS with commensurate time delays (where time delays have rational relations). It is shown in an earlier publication of the authors that the DM brings a unique, exact and structured methodology for the stability analysis of commensurate time delayed cases. The transition from the commensurate time delays to multiple delay case motivates our study. It is shown that the DM reveals all possible stability regions in the space of multiple time delays. The systems that are considered do not have to possess stable behavior for zero delays. We present a numerical example on a system, which is considered “prohibitively difficult” in the literature, just to exhibit the strengths of the new procedure.

In this paper, the robust stability of uncertain linear systems with multiple time delays is studied. Sufficient conditions for robust stability of linear time delay systems with convex perturbations are obtained. From these sufficient conditions, a few results on robust stability of systems with other perturbations are derived. Some previously known sufficient conditions are generalized.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is with delay-independent stabilization of nonlinear systems with multiple time-delays and its application in chaos synchronization of Rössler system. Design/methodology/approach – Based on linear matrix inequality and algebra Riccati matrix equation, the stabilization result is derived to guarantee asymptotically stable and applicated in chaos synchronization of Rössler chaotic system with multiple time-delays. Findings – A controller is designed and added to the nonlinear system with multiple time-delays. The stability of the nonlinear system at its zero equilibrium point is guaranteed by applying the appropriate controller signal based on linear matrix inequality and algebra Riccati matrix equation scheme. Another effective controller is also designed for the global asymptotic synchronization on the Rössler system based on the structure of delay-independent stabilization of nonlinear systems with multiple time-delays. Numerical simulations are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller scheme. Originality/value – The introduced approach is interesting for delay-independent stabilization of nonlinear systems with multiple time-delays and its application in chaos synchronization of Rössler system.
