This paper examines the problem of designing a robust H∞ output-feedback yaw controller with both input and output constraints for four-wheel independently driven in-wheel electric vehicles (EVs) with differential steering. Specifically, the controller aims are to ensure the stability and improve the performance of the EV despite variations in the road adhesion coefficient, longitudinal velocity, and external disturbance. Based on the linear matrix inequalities approach, sufficient conditions for the existence of an H∞ output-feedback controller for linear systems with polytopic uncertainties, and input and control output constraints, are derived. Then those sufficient conditions are utilized to design an H∞ output-feedback yaw controller that guarantees the robust performance and stability of an EV over a wider range of road conditions. Finally, the capability of the developed controller is simulated on a vehicle model with uncertain road conditions and longitudinal velocities.

A sensor fault diagnosis of an electric vehicle (EV) modeled as a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) system is proposed. The proposed TS model considers the nonlinearity of the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle and parametric variation induced by the slope of the road; these considerations allow to obtain a mathematical model that represents the vehicle for a wide range of speeds and different terrain conditions. First, a virtual sensor represented by a TS state observer is developed. Sufficient conditions are given by a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that guarantee asymptotic convergence of the TS observer. Second, the work is extended to perform fault detection and isolation based on a generalized observer scheme (GOS). Numerical simulations are presented to show the performance and applicability of the proposed method.

This paper studies model predictive control for a Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy system with randomly occurring actuator saturation and packet losses. The nonlinearity of the actuator saturation is transformed into a set of convex hulls, while the packet losses are assumed to obey the rules of Bernoulli distribution. Both parallel-distributed-compensation (PDC) and non-parallel-distributed-compensation (non-PDC) strategies are adopted to design the controller for the system. In addition, sufficient conditions of the stability for the closed-loop system are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. It is shown that the non-PDC strategy behaves less conservatively than the PDC strategy in controlling the considered T–S fuzzy system, when the input and output constraints are explicitly considered. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design techniques.

This paper addresses the design problem of robust H2 output feedback controller design for damping power system oscillations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of output feedback controllers with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to design the output feedback controller which minimizes an upper bound on the worst-case H2 norm for a range of admissible plant perturbations. The technique is illustrated with applications to the design of stabilizer for a single-machine infinite-bus (SMIB) power system. The LMI based control ensures adequate damping for widely varying system operating.

Industrial processes are inherently nonlinear with input, state, and output constraints. A proper control system should handle these challenging control problems over a large operating region. The robust model predictive controller (RMPC) could be an linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based method that estimates stability region of the closed-loop system as an ellipsoid. This presentation, however, restricts confident application of the controller on systems with large operating regions. In this paper, a dual-mode control strategy is employed to enlarge the stability region in first place and then, trajectory reversing method (TRM) is employed to approximate the stability region more accurately. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is illustrated on a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process.

In this paper, the stability and periodicity of memristor-based neural networks with time-varying delays are studied. Based on linear matrix inequalities, differential inclusion theory and by constructing proper Lyapunov functional approach and using linear matrix inequality, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the global exponential stability and periodic solutions of memristor-based neural networks. Finally, two illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the results.

This paper investigates the problem of the stability and stabilization of continuous-time Markovian jump singular systems with partial information on transition probabilities. A new stability criterion which is necessary and sufficient is obtained for these systems. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the state feedback controller design are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In this technical brief, we provide an asynchronous modified repetitive controller design to address the periodic trajectory tracking problem for switched systems with time-varying switching delays between plant modes and controllers. In the feedback channel, a dynamic output feedback mechanism is adopted. By utilizing the lifting technique, the dynamic output feedback-based switched repetitive control system is transformed into a continuous-discrete two-dimensional (2D) model to differentiate the control and learning actions involved in the repetitive controller. For the transformed 2D model, by constructing a piecewise Lyapunov functional and utilizing a matrix decomposition approach, sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and the average dwell time are developed to guarantee closed-loop exponential stability. The performance of the proposed approach is illustrated via a switched RLC series circuit example and numerical simulations are provided.

New Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions are proposed and free weight matrices are introduced. The novel sufficient conditions for the stability of discrete-time stochastic fuzzy neural networks with mixed delays are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed method.

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.

This paper investigates the stability issues for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks with mixed time delays and impulsive effects. By constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and combining with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a novel set of sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for the addressed discrete-time neural networks. Then the result is extended to address the problem of robust stability of uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with impulsive effects. One important feature in this paper is that the stability of the equilibrium point is proved under mild conditions on the activation functions, and it is not required to be differentiable or strictly monotonic. In addition, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, while being less conservative.
