This paper addresses the problem of determining robust stability regions for a class of nonlinear systems with time-invariant uncertainties subject to actuator saturation. The unforced nonlinear system is represented by differential-algebraic equations where the system matrices are allowed to be rational functions of the state and uncertain parameters, and the saturation nonlinearity is modelled by a sector bound condition. For this class of systems, local stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are derived based on polynomial Lyapunov functions in which the Lyapunov matrix is a quadratic function of the state and uncertain parameters. To estimate a robust stability region is considered the largest level surface of the Lyapunov function belonging to a given polytopic region of state. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the approach.

This paper addresses the problem of unknown input fractional-order functional state observer design for a class of fractional-order time-delay nonlinear systems. The nonlinearities consist of two parts where one part is assumed to satisfy both the one-sided Lipschitz condition and the quadratically inner-bounded condition and the other is not necessary to be Lipschitz and can be regarded as an unknown input, making the wider class of considered nonlinear systems. By taking the advantages of recent results on Caputo fractional derivative of a quadratic function, we derive new sufficient conditions with the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the systems. Four examples are also provided to show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability of delay differential-algebraic equations. Two stability criteria described by evaluating a corresponding harmonic analytical function on the boundary of a certain region are presented. Stability regions are also presented so as to show the method geometrically. Our results are not reported.

Many works in the literature have studied the kinematical and dynamical issues of parallel robots. But it is still difficult to extend the vast control strategies to parallel mechanisms due to the complexity of the model-based control. This complexity is mainly caused by the presence of multiple closed kinematic chains, making the system naturally described by a set of differential–algebraic equations. The aim of this work is to control a two-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator. A mechanical model based on differential–algebraic equations is given. The goal is to use the structural characteristics of the mechanical system to reduce the complexity of the nonlinear model. Therefore, a trajectory tracking control is achieved using the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model derived from the differential–algebraic equation forms and its linear matrix inequality constraints formulation. Simulation results show that the proposed approach based on differential–algebraic equations and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modeling leads to a better robustness against the structural uncertainties.

The theoretical and computational aspects of interval methodology based on Chebyshev polynomials for modeling multibody dynamic systems in the presence of parametric uncertainties are proposed, where the uncertain parameters are modeled by uncertain-but-bounded interval variables which only need the bounds of uncertain parameters, not necessarily knowing the probabilistic distribution. The Chebyshev inclusion function which employs the truncated Chevbyshev series expansion to approximate the original function is proposed. Based on Chebyshev inclusion function, the algorithm for solving the nonlinear equations with interval parameters is proposed. Combining the HHT-I3 method, this algorithm is used to calculate the multibody systems dynamic response which is governed by differential algebraic equations (DAEs). A numerical example that is a slider-crank with uncertain parameters is presented, which shows that the novel methodology can control the overestimation effectively and is computationally faster than the scanning method.

This paper focuses on the robust stability and the memory feedback stabilization problems for a class of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays. Especially, the considered time delays depend on the subsystem number. Based on a novel common Lyapunov functional, the aggregation techniques, and the Borne and Gentina criterion, new sufficient robust stability and stabilization conditions under arbitrary switching are established. Compared with existing results, the proposed criteria are explicit, simple to use, and obtained without finding a common Lyapunov function for all subsystems through linear matrix inequalities, considered very difficult in this situation. Moreover, compared with the memoryless one, the developed controller guarantees the robust stability of the corresponding closed-loop system with more performance by minimizing the effect of the delays in the system dynamics. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are shown to prove the practical utility and the effectiveness of the proposed theories.
