Finite‐time boundedness of large‐scale systems with actuator faults and gain fluctuations

Abstract

Summary This paper addresses the issue of finite‐time boundedness of large‐scale interconnected systems with the use of a distributed nonfragile fault‐tolerant controller. The objective of this paper is to design a state‐feedback controller consisting of a time‐varying delay such that the resulting closed‐loop system is finite‐time bounded under a prescribed extended passivity performance level even in the presence of all admissible uncertainties and possible actuator faults. More precisely, based on the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii stability theory, a new set of sufficient conditions is obtained in the framework of linear matrix inequality constraints that ensures finite‐time boundedness and satisfies the prescribed extended passivity performance index of the considered system. Finally, two numerical examples, including the interconnected inverted pendulum, are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller design technique.

Robust finite‐time control and estimation for uncertain time‐delayed switched systems by observer‐based sliding mode technique

“…Assumption Refer to References 21 34, we assume that the system state x ( t ) will not jump at the switching time. It means that the track of the system state x ( t ) is continuous.…”

“…For the short‐time control problem, Dorato has done the pioneering work 19 . Meanwhile, the issues of finite‐time stability (FTS) and FTB have also been extensively studied by researchers 20-24 . In recent years, the concept of FTS and FTB have also extended to SMC procedures.…”

Guaranteed cost finite-time control of large-scale singular systems with interconnected delays

“…Despite the importance of these problems, there are few research results reported for FTS of large-scale systems with delay. We can mention Tharanidharan et al (2019) and La-inchua et al (2017), where the authors proposed sufficient conditions for FTS for a class of linear large-scale systems.…”
