The application of wireless communication to platooning brings such challenges as information delay and varieties of interaction topologies. To compensate for the information delay, a state predictor based control strategy is proposed, which transmits the future information of nodes instead of current values. Based on the closed loop dynamics of platoon with state predictor and feedback controller, a decoupling strategy is presented to analysis and design the platoon control system with lower order by adopting the eigenvalue decomposition of topological matrix. A numerical method based on LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) is provided to find the required robust performance controller. Moreover, the influence of information delay on performance is studied theoretically and it is found that the tolerable maximum delay is determined by the maximum topological eigenvalue. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is validated by several comparative simulations under various conditions with other methods.

This paper deals with the problem of mixed H2/H∞ control for Itô-type stochastic time-delay systems. First, the H2/H∞ control problem for stochastic time-delay systems is presented, which considers the mean square stability, H2 control performance index, and the ability of disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop systems. Second, by choosing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasoviskii functional and using matrix inequality technique, some sufficient conditions for the existence of state feedback H2/H∞ controller for stochastic time-delay systems are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Third, two convex optimization problems with linear matrix inequality constraints are formulated to design the optimal mixed H2/H∞ controller which minimizes the guaranteed cost of the closed-loop systems with known and unknown initial functions, and the corresponding algorithm is given to optimize H2/H∞ performance index. Finally, a numerical example is employed to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

This paper develops a new method of designing anti-windup compensators using the concept of robust pole placement using linear matrix inequality (LMI) regions. The anti-windup problem seeks to minimize the closed loop performance deterioration due to input nonlinearities such as saturation for a given linear time-invariant plant and controller. Existing LMI-based anti-windup synthesis techniques do not explicitly provide a method to account for robust pole placement. This paper suggests a LMI-based method that not only attempts to minimize performance deterioration, but also explicitly restricts the anti-windup closed loop dynamics to an admissible set. Finally, the techniques discussed in this paper are demonstrated on a hydraulic test bed.

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-feedback H ∞ controller can be obtained by solving a linear matrix inequality. The designed controller not only can achieve the optimal performance for active suspensions but also preserves the closed-loop stability in spite of the controller gain variations.

As a result of linear matrix inequality (LMI) and its good nature of mathematics as well as the breakthrough of solution method, many control problems can be transformed into a standard LMI problem to solve. Linear matrix inequality has received widely attention and applications in control system analysis and design. This paper introduces some of the basic content of LMI, such as the general description, the relevant algorithms and software. The controller will be designed using LMI such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and simulation will be given using Matlab. Finally, the population model will be given and analyzed.

Abstract In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory to compensate parametric uncertainty, unknown time-varying internal delay, and bounded matched or mismatched disturbance effects in closed-loop system of nonlinear systems. The online adaptive tuning controllers are designed such that reference input tracking and asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system are guaranteed. A novel structural algorithm is developed based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and boundaries of the system delay or uncertainty. The capabilities of the proposed tracking and regulation methods are verified by simulation of three physical uncertain nonlinear system with real practical parameters subject to internal or state time delay and disturbance.

The problem of [Formula: see text] control is investigated for turbofan systems with uncertain parameters and multiple disturbances in this paper. Some disturbances with partly known information are described via an external system, and other disturbances are assumed to be [Formula: see text] norm bounded. According to the disturbance-observer-based-control (DOBC) method and resilient [Formula: see text] control technique, a robust resilient controller is designed to reject and attenuate the influence of these disturbances, and guarantees that closed-loop systems are asymptotically stable with [Formula: see text] performance. Some solvable sufficient conditions are obtained based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique and Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, a simulation is presented to show the robustness and effectiveness of the developed resilient anti-disturbance [Formula: see text] control method.

AbstractIn this paper, we present sufficient conditions for global optimality of a general nonconvex smooth minimisation model problem involving linear matrix inequality constraints with bounds on the variables. The linear matrix inequality constraints are also known as “semidefinite” constraints which arise in many applications, especially in control system analysis and design. Due to the presence of nonconvex objective functions such minimisation problems generally have many local minimisers which are not global minimisers. We develop conditions for identifying global minimisers of the model problem by first constructing a (weighted sum of squares) quadratic underestimator for the twice continuously differentiable objective function of the minimisation problem and then by characterising global minimisers of the easily tractable underestimator over the same feasible region of the original problem. We apply the results to obtain global optimality conditions for optinusation problems with discrete constraints.
