Abstract: The problem of decentralized stabilization of interconnected systems that are delaydependent for some delays and delay-independent for the remaining ones is addressed in this paper. For the purpose, some of the subsystems are grouped to form new larger subsystems. Such a grouping allows all the interconnection delays present among the smaller subsystems to be divided into two groups i...

this paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of t-s fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. the objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (pdc) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...

This paper revisits the problem of delaydependent dynamic output feedback control for a class of uncertain discrete-time switched linear state-delayed systems, where the state delay is assumed to be time-varying and of an intervallike type, which means that both the lower and upper bounds of the time-varying delay are available and the parameter uncertainties are assumed to have a structured li...

A new general complex delayed dynamical network model with nonsymmetric coupling is introduced, and then we investigate its synchronization phenomena. Several synchronization criteria for delay-independent and delaydependent synchronization are provided which generalize some previous results. The matrix Jordan canonical formalization method is used instead of the matrix diagonalization method, ...

It is well known that the stability and performance of a networked control system (NCS) are strongly affected by the transmission delay, which is usually random in communication networks such as Ethernet. In order to cope with the random transmission delay and increase the control performance, a novel switching control approach for NCS is proposed. The random transmission delay is modelled by a...

This paper investigates the problem of robust output feedback control of uncertain continuous-time timedelay systems with both external disturbances and saturating actuators. Both the system uncertainties and the external disturbances are assumed to be time-varying and bounded, and the states of the system under consideration are not available but detectable. First, in the absence of external d...

Time-delay frequently occurs in many practical systems, such as chemical processes, manufacturing systems, long transmission lines, telecommunication and economic systems, etc. Since time-delay is a main source of instability and poor performance, the control problem of time-delay systems has received considerable attentions in literature, such as [1][9]. The design approaches adopt in these li...

The problem of investigation of time delay systems has been exploited over many years. Time delay is very often encountered in various technical systems, such as electric, pneumatic and hydraulic networks, chemical processes, long transmission lines, etc. The existence of pure time lag, regardless if it is present in the control or/and the state, may cause undesirable system transient response,...

and Applied Analysis 3 It is still very difficult to calculate expectations of these stochastic cross terms up to now. The results in 28–31 resorted to bounding techniques, which obviously can bring the conservatism. Some papers such as 32–34 considered that expectations of these stochastic cross terms are all equal to zero. However, these results are not given by strict mathematical proofs, an...

This paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. The objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...
