The fragile-X mental retardation syndrome, one of the most prevalent chromosome X-linked diseases (approximately equal to 1 of 2000 newborn males), is characterized by the presence in affected males and in a portion of carrier females of a fragile site at chromosomes band Xq27. We have performed a linkage analysis in 16 families between the locus for the fragile-X syndrome, FRAXQ27, and two pol...

This paper is concerned with the design problem of non-fragile controller for a class of two-dimensional (2-D) discrete uncertain systems described by the Roesser model. The parametric uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. The aim of this paper is to design a memoryless non-fragile state feedback control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable for all admissible pa...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of non-fragile H∞ fuzzy control design for continuous Takagi Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with uncertainties, external disturbance and unmeasurable state variables. For the case of controller and observer gain additive variations, we propose a new solution of the fragility problem by developing the non-fragile design schemes ensuring the asymptotic stabil...

In this paper we present an approach to design the non-fragile H controller for active vehicle suspensions. A quarter-car model with active suspension system is considered in this paper. By suitably formulating the sprung mass acceleration, suspension deflection and tire deflection as the optimization object and considering a priori norm-bounded controller gain variations, the non-fragile state...

This paper describes a robust and non-fragile H∞ controller design method for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties and time delay, as well as a static state feedback controller with multiplicative uncertainty. The controller existence condition, as well as its design method, and the measure of non-fragility in the controller are proposed using linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique...

The paper deals with the synthesis of a non-fragile state controller with reduced design complexity for a class of continuous-time nonlinear delayed symmetric composite systems. Additive controller gain perturbations are considered. Both subsystems and interconnections include time-delays. A low-order control design system is first constructed. Then, stabilizing controllers with norm bounded ga...

Abstract: This paper describes the synthesis of robust and non-fragile Hstate feedback controllers for linear varying systems with time delay and affine parameter uncertainties, as well as static state feedback controller with structural uncertainty. The sufficient condition of controller existence, the design method of robust and non-fragile Hstatic state feedback controller, and the region of...
