PD feedback \(H_{\infty}\) control for uncertain singular neutral systems
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2016, Article number: 29 (2016)
Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem of proportional-plus-derivative (PD) feedback \(H_{\infty}\) control for uncertain singular neutral systems. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying norm-bounded and appearing not only in the state matrix but also in the derivative matrix. This paper introduces new effective criteria which make the systems stable and meet the \(H_{\infty}\) performance by PD feedback controller. Different from most existing methods, this study attempts to introduce the information between derivative matrices. Based on such an idea, the PD feedback controller for singular neutral systems is first of all proposed which makes the derivative matrices (especially neutral matrix) meet the requirement which guarantees the existence of the solution for the system. So the criteria in this paper are less conservative to some extent. Finally, illustrate examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
1 Introduction
Since the late 1980s, interests have been focused on the study of the \(H_{\infty}\) control problem [1] due to its practical and theoretical importance. Various approaches have been developed and a great number of results for continuous systems as well as discrete systems have been reported in the literature: [2] discussed the State space solutions to standard \(H_{2}\) and \(H_{\infty}\) control problems; [3] studied delay-dependent robust \(H_{\infty}\) controller synthesis for discrete singular delay systems; [4] stated \(H_{\infty}\) control for descriptor systems: a matrix inequalities approach; [5] addressed non-fragile \(H_{\infty}\) control for linear systems with multiplicative controller gain variations. It should be pointed out that all of the works mentioned above are concerned with the \(H_{\infty}\) control problem for conventional state-space systems as well as conventional singular systems. However, many practical processes can be modeled as neutral delay systems [6–8] such as networks of interconnected systems [9], lossless transmission lines, partial element equivalent circuits in electrical engineering, controlled constrained manipulators in mechanical engineering [10, 11], and certain implementation schemes of predictive controllers [12]. So there are many results for the study of the neutral systems [13, 14] performance. For example, [15] studied estimates of perturbation of nonlinear indirect interval control system of neutral type; [16] studied a stabilization method in neutral type direct control systems; [17] studied stabilization of neutral-type indirect control systems to absolute stability state; etc. Most of the literature studies the stability [18–20] for the linear neutral systems. But it appears that little results are available so far on \(H_{\infty}\) control of the neutral systems [21, 22] as well as the neutral singular systems [23–25]. The above results are all for the theoretical research of this kind of system. For the practical application research is rarely. In the future, we can achieve more practical results from the application background; for example, results as regards a dissolving tank of chemical process, a large circuit system, and recent general data-driven methods [26, 27].
Circuit analysis, power systems, chemical process simulation, etc. can be modeled as a general form of neutral type system, i.e. neutral singular systems. Therefore, the study of stability problems for neutral singular systems is of theoretical and practical importance. It is well known that the stability of the differential operator ℑ is the prerequisite condition for the stability of neutral systems [28]. Its stability is determined by the derivative matrices. In most previous literature [29–31] the differential operator ℑ is presumed to be stable. That is to say, derivative matrices need to meet certain conditions. This has great significance. However, not all of the neutral systems have a stable operator. To make the system meaningful, one should design the controller which makes the operator of the system is stable. Owing to the operator being related to the state with derivative, we only use derivative feedback control to stabilize the operator. To the best of our knowledge, little attention has been given to the neutral singular systems with the operator ℑ unstable. Up to now, the proportional-plus-derivative (PD) feedback control problem of neutral singular systems with the operator ℑ unstable has not been investigated when the \(H_{\infty}\) performance of the closed-loop system is required. The main objective of this paper is to present the PD feedback controller for neutral singular systems. It can make the systems asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\).
The remaining sections of this paper are organized as follows. The neutral singular system description and some relevant lemmas are given in Section 2. Section 3 presents an \(H_{\infty}\) performance analysis of the neutral singular systems and Section 4 designs PD state feedback stabilizing controllers. In Section 5, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results in this paper. Finally, conclusions are given in Section 6.

Matrices, if not explicitly stated, are assumed to have compatible dimensions. \(\lambda ( G,E ) = \{ \alpha |\det (G - \alpha E) = 0 \}\) means generalized eigenvalue set of matric G and E. \(\Omega (0,1)\) is a circle with 0 as a center and 1 as circle radius.
2 System description and preliminaries
In this paper, we consider the following uncertain singular neutral delay system:
We have the initial condition
where \(x(t) \in R^{n}\) is the state variable vector; \(u(t) \in R^{m}\) is the control input vector; \(z(t) \in R^{q}\) is the output vector; \(w(t) \in L_{2}[0,\infty)\) is the disturbance input vector; and \(\phi (t)\) are continuous functions defined on \(( - \infty,0 ]\). E (\(\operatorname{rank}(E)\leq n\)), A, \(A_{1}\), G, B, \(B_{1}\), C, D are given constant matrices with appropriate dimensions, and \(\bar{\tau} = \max \{ h,\tau \}\) is a constant time-delay. ΔE, ΔG, ΔA, \(\Delta A_{1}\) are unknown real norm-bounded matrix functions which represent time-varying parameter uncertainties. In this paper, the uncertainties are assumed to be of the form
Here H, \(N_{a}\), \(N_{a1}\), \(N_{e}\), \(N_{g}\) are known real constant matrices with appropriate dimensions, for ∀t, \(F(t)\) is an unknown real matrix satisfying \(F(t)F^{T}(t) \le I\). I is a unit matrix with appropriate dimensions.
The nominal unforced singular neutral system of the system (1a) and (1b) can be written as
In the following, we introduce some of the data that will be used later.
When \(E = I\), the system (1a) reduces to the uncertain neutral system with time delays.
Define the operator \(\Im:\wp_{n,\tau} \to R^{n}\) as follows:
which will play a major role in the subsequent analysis.
For a given scalar \(\gamma > 0\), the \(H_{\infty}\) performance index of the system (2a) and (2b) is defined to be
Definition 1
[28]
Suppose \(\Im:C \to R^{n}\) is linear, continuous and let \(C_{\Im} = \{ \Phi \in C:\Im \Phi = 0\}\).
The operator ℑ is said to be stable if the zero solution of the homogeneous difference equation
is uniformly asymptotically stable.
It is noted that the regularity of the neutral singular system (2a) and the stability of operator ℑ can ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solution, which is shown in the following lemma.
Lemma 1
The differential operator \(\Im x_{t}=Ex(t)-Gx(t-\tau)\) is stable if and only if \(\lambda ( G,E ) \subset \{ \Omega (0,1) - 0 \}\).
Proof
Take the Laplace transform for the equation
Then we have
The characteristic equation of equation (4) is
That is,
Obviously \(\det ( - e^{ - s\tau} ) \ne 0\), so
Let \(e^{s\tau} = \alpha\), then \(s = \frac{1}{\tau} \{ \ln \vert \alpha \vert + i\operatorname{Arg}\alpha \}\).
Equation (6) can be rewritten as
If \(0 < \vert \alpha \vert < 1\), that is, \(\{ \lambda (G,E) - \{ 0\} \} \subset \Omega (0,1)\), then \(\operatorname{Re} s < 0\).
Conversely, if \(\operatorname{Re} s < 0\), then \(0 < \vert \alpha \vert < 1\), that is, \(\{ \lambda (G,E) - \{ 0\} \} \subset \Omega (0,1)\).
The Taylor series expansion of \(e^{ - s\tau}\) around \(s = 0\) is
Substituting (7) into (5), we obtain
When \(s \to 0\), the limit of equation (8) is
According to the final value theorem for the Laplace transform, when \(\{ \lambda (G,E) - \{ 0\} \} \subset \Omega (0,1)\), that is to say, all the singularities of \(sX(s)\) are in the left half of the s plane, then \(\lim_{t \to + \infty} x(t) = \lim_{s \to 0}sX(s)\) is true. Therefore the solution \(x(t)\) of equation (4) is asymptotically stable if and only if \(\lim_{t \to + \infty} x(t) = \lim_{s \to 0}sX(s) = 0\). Then, equation (9) has the following form:
So \(X(0)\) exists and has a unique value if and only if \(\det (E - G) \ne 0\). Here \(\lambda ( G,E ) \subset \{ \Omega (0,1) - 0 \}\) implies \(\det (E - G) \ne 0\). Then we have the desired result immediately. This completes the proof. □
Lemma 1 is from the paper ‘Robust stability analysis and stabilization of uncertain neutral singular systems’, which is accepted by the IJSS.
From Lemma 1, we see that \(E - G\) is an invertible matrix. So the system (2a) can be rewritten as the following equation:
where \(\sigma = (E - G)^{ - 1}\).
It is well known that the stability of the differential operator ℑ is the prerequisite condition for the stability analysis of neutral systems. Then according to Lemma 1, derivative matrix needs to meet certain conditions. However, only the derivative feedback changes the derivative matrix. So the purpose of this paper is to design a derivative feedback controller which makes the system (1a) and (1b) asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\).
Lemma 2
For any vectors a and b of appropriate dimensions, \(X=X^{T}>0\) satisfying \(X^{T}X< I\), we have
Lemma 2 is from the paper ‘Robust stability analysis and stabilization of uncertain neutral singular systems’, which is accepted by the IJSS.
Lemma 3
[32]
Let A, L, E, and F be real matrices of appropriate dimensions, with F satisfying \(F^{T}F \le I\). Then we have:
-
i.
For any scalar \(\varepsilon > 0\),
$$LFE + E^{T}F^{T}L^{T} \le \varepsilon^{ - 1}LL^{T} + \varepsilon E^{T}E. $$ -
ii.
For any matrix \(P > 0\) and scalar \(\varepsilon > 0\) such that \(\varepsilon I - EFE^{T} > 0\),
$$(A + LFE)^{T}P(A + LFE) \le A^{T}PA + A^{T}PE \bigl(\varepsilon I - E^{T}PE\bigr)^{ - 1}E^{T}PA + \varepsilon L^{T}L. $$
3 \(H_{\infty}\) performance analysis
In this section, we will focus on the \(H_{\infty}\) performance analysis of the neutral singular systems (1a), (1b) and (2a), (2b) and establish the following results.
Theorem 1
For given scalar \(\tau,h > 0\), the nominal system (2a) and (2b) with \(u(t) = 0\) is asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\) if there exist positive matrices \(P = P^{T} > 0\), \(Q_{i} = Q_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)), \(U = U^{T} > 0\), and any matrices \(N_{j}\) (\(j = 1,2\)), such that the following LMIs are feasible:
where
Proof
Due to \(E - G\) is an invertible matrix, we have \((E - G)P(E - G)^{T} > 0\).
Next, we choose a candidate Lyapunov functional \(V(x(t))\) as follows:
For any matrices \(N_{1}\), \(N_{2}\) with appropriate dimensions, we obtain
Calculating the derivative of \(V(x(t))\) along the solution of the nominal system (10) yields
where \(\chi = P^{ - 1}(E - G)^{ - 1}\), \(P = P^{T} > 0\), \(Q_{i} = Q_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)).
From (12), (13), the Schur complement lemma, and Lemma 2, we have \(\Omega < 0\). That is, \(\dot{V}(x_{t}) + Z^{T}(t)Z(t) - \gamma^{2}w^{T}(t)w(t) < 0\). The initial condition \(x(0) = 0\) implies that \(J(w) < 0\). This completes the proof. □
Remark 1
Most researchers solve the differential operator stability problems by the use of derivative matrices with decomposition [19]. That is, there exist two invertible matrices K and S such that
This requires the matrices E and G to be very special. It is not generally true to make two matrices diagonalization simultaneously. Furthermore, the corresponding computational complexities are large. However, this theorem holds as long as \(\det (E - G) \ne 0\). So Theorem 1 is more effective than the previous results.
Theorem 2
For given scalar \(\tau,h > 0\), the uncertain neutral system (1a) and (1b) is asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\) if there exist positive matrices \(P = P^{T} > 0\), \(Q_{i} = Q_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)), \(U_{i} = U_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)) and any matrices \(N_{j}\) (\(j = 1,2\)) and scalar \(\varepsilon_{j} > 0\), \(j = 1, \ldots,6\), such that the following LMIs are feasible:
where
Proof
Let
According to the Schur complement lemma, (15) is equivalent to \(\mathrm{A}< 0\).
From (18) and Lemma 3, we obtain
That is,
If E, G, A and \(A_{1}\) in (13) are replaced by \(E + HF(t)N_{e}\), \(G + HF(t)N_{g}\), \(A+HF(t)N_{a}\), and \(A_{1}+HF(t)N_{a1}\), respectively, then (13) is rewritten as the following formula:
where
By Lemma 3, for the system (1a) and (1b) there exists \(\varepsilon_{i} > 0\) (\(i = 1,\ldots, 6\)), applying the Schur complement lemma again, we see that (16) and (17) hold. This completes the proof. □
4 Stabilizing controllers of uncertain neutral singular system
In this section we design PD state feedback controllers to make the resulting closed loop systems asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\).
For the system (1a) and (1b), our interest is to design a state derivative feedback controller
When we apply the controller (19) to the system (1a), the resulting closed loop system can be written as
where
The following results present the solvability conditions for the state feedback stabilizing control problems for the uncertain neutral singular system (1a) with the controller (19).
Theorem 3
For given scalar \(\tau,h > 0\), considering the neutral singular system (2a) and (2b), there exists a controller (19) such that the resulting closed loop system (20) without parameter uncertainties is asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\) if there exist positive matrices \(P = P^{T} > 0\), \(Q_{i} = Q_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)), \(U = U^{T} > 0\) and any matrices \(N_{j}\) (\(j=1,2\)), X, \(X_{a}\) \(X_{a1}\), \(K_{g}\) such that the following LMIs are feasible:
where
In this case, the PD state \(H_{\infty}\) controller can be chosen as
Proof
In (11), E is replaced by \(E + B_{1}K_{e}\), then (11) is rewritten as the following condition:
Let \(K = K_{e} + K_{g}\), \(X = KP\).
According to the Schur complement lemma, (25) becomes the following LMI:
where j is the imaginary unit. Then (26) is equivalent to the LMI (21).
If E, G, A, and \(A_{1}\) in (13) are replaced by \(E + B_{1}K_{e}\), \(G + B_{1}K_{g}\), \(A + B_{1}K_{a}\), and \(A_{1} + B_{1}K_{a1}\), respectively, let \(X_{a} = K_{a}P\), \(X_{a1} = K_{a1}Q_{1}\), according to the Schur complement lemma and Lemma 3, (13) is equivalent to the LMI (23). This completes the proof. □
Remark 2
As far as we know the methods of controller design for neutral systems do not include a derivative feedback because of the complexity of the neutral term in neutral systems. Theorem 3 provides the derivative feedback method which uses the knowledge of complex matrix inequalities [33]. So the gain matrices are all real matrices.
Remark 3
Based on this theorem, there is no longer the assumption that the differential operator ℑ is to be stable. For example, for the nominal system (2a) with the coefficient matrices \(E = \bigl [ {\scriptsize\begin{matrix}{} 1 & 0 \cr 0 & 1 \end{matrix}} \bigr ]\), \(G = \bigl [ {\scriptsize\begin{matrix}{} 0.2 & 0 \cr 0.2 & 10 \end{matrix}} \bigr ]\), according the previous conclusions, see [17], we will not be able to judge the performance of the system. This is so because most results are based on the assumption that the differential operator ℑ is stable. But through Theorem 3, we can make the differential operator ℑ stable and then design the controller.
Theorem 4
For given scalar \(\tau,h > 0\), considering the uncertain neutral singular system (1a) and (1b), there exists a controller (19) such that the resulting closed loop system (20) is asymptotically stable with an \(H_{\infty}\) disturbance attenuation \(\gamma > 0\) for all nonzero \(w(t) \in L_{2}^{P} [ 0, + \infty ]\) if there exist positive matrices \(P = P^{T} > 0\), \(Q_{i} = Q_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)), \(U_{i} = U_{i}^{T} > 0\) (\(i = 1,2\)), and any matrices \(N_{j}\) (\(j=1,2\)), X, \(X_{a}\), \(X_{a1}\), \(K_{g}\) and scalar \(\varepsilon_{j} > 0\), \(j = 1, \ldots,6\) such that the following LMIs are feasible:
where
Proof
The proof can be carried out by following a similar line to the proof of Theorem 3, and thus it is omitted. □
Remark 4
Obviously, the normal condition \(\det (E - G) \ne 0\) guarantees the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the neutral singular systems. So knowing the information of derivative matrices is particularly important. The main improvement in the theorems in this paper is that the derivative matrices E and G can become the desired matrices by the PD feedback controller. Generally speaking, a static state feedback cannot get the desired results.
5 Numerical examples
In this section, we provide numerical examples to show the effectiveness and applicability of the results proposed in this paper.
Example 1
Consider the nominal system (2a). The parameters of the system are assumed as follows:
Obviously in this system \(\det (E - G) = - 0.1 \ne 0\) satisfies the condition (11) of Theorem 1, so the solution of the system exists. In terms of Theorem 1, when \(\tau \le 0.0868\), this system is asymptotically stable.
With the initial conditions \(x(t) = [0.1 \ - 0.062]^{T}\), the numerical simulation is carried out using the Simulink in Matlab. The result of the numerical simulation is presented in Figure 1, which shows the asymptotical stability of the system.
Example 2
Consider the nominal system (2a) and (2b) with the following parameters:
when \(u(t) = 0\), by solving LMIs conditions in Theorem 1 via the Matlab LMI toolbox, we cannot obtain feasible solutions. That is, the nominal neutral singular system is not stable. The state responses of the system with initial conditions \(x(t) = [0.1 \ 0]^{T}\) are given in Figure 2(a). Solving LMIs in Theorem 3 with \(\gamma = 0.1\) via the Matlab LMI toolbox, we can get the feasible solutions:
This solution leads to the following state feedback controller gains:
and the PD state feedback controller is
The state responses of the closed-loop system with the initial condition \(x(t) = [0.1 \ 0 ]^{T}\) is given in Figure 2(b), which demonstrates the applicability of the proposed method.
Example 3
Consider the uncertain neutral singular system (1a) and (1b). The parameters of the system are assumed as follows:
It is assumed that the uncertain matrix is given as \(F(t) = [ \sin t \ \sin t ]^{T}\).
We take \(\gamma=0.1\), when \(u(t) = 0\), by solving the LMIs conditions in Theorem 2 via the Matlab LMI toolbox, we cannot obtain feasible solutions. That is, the uncertain neutral singular system is not stable. The state responses of the system with the initial conditions \(x(t) = [0.1 \ 0.1 ]^{T}\) are given in Figure 3(a). By solving LMIs in Theorem 4 via the Matlab LMI toolbox, we can get the feasible solutions:
This solution leads to the following PD state feedback controller gains:
It is assumed that the uncertain matrix \(E_{c}\), \(G_{c}\) in closed-loop system (20) are given as \(F(t) = [\sin t \ \sin t ]^{T}\). For any \(t \in [ 0, + \infty ]\) and with the above designed controller, the determinant of the derivative matrices of the corresponding closed-loop system is
which implies that the derivative matrix \(E_{c} - G_{c}\) of the closed loop system is invertible.
The state responses of the closed-loop system with initial condition \(x(t) = [0.1 \ 0.1 ]^{T}\) is given in Figure 3(b), which demonstrates the applicability of the proposed method.
6 Conclusions
In this article, we have dealt with the \(H_{\infty}\) performance analysis and the \(H_{\infty}\) control problem for uncertain neutral singular systems with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. By using the free-weight matrix method and the LMI technique, we have novel criteria which ensure the neutral singular system under consideration to be stable while satisfying a prescribed \(H_{\infty}\) performance level. Based on this, sufficient conditions for the existence of PD state \(H_{\infty}\) controllers have been proposed. Compared with some existing results, the obtained PD state \(H_{\infty}\) controller can change the derivative matrices. Based on the criteria, numerical examples have been provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
