Delay-dependent criterion for guaranteed cost control of neutral delay systems (Q1777601): Difference between revisions

The author considers a system described by a neutral functional differential equation \[ \dot{x}(t)-C\dot{x}(t-\tau) = A_0x(t) + A_1x(t-h) + Bu(t) \] with \((A_0+A_1,B)\) a controllable pair. To this system he associates the quadratic cost function \[ J(u,\phi) = \int_0^\infty(x^T(t)Qx(t)+u^T(t)Su(t))dt \] where \(Q>0\), \(S>0\) and \(\phi\in C^1\) is the initial condition. The paper aims to find a control law \(u(t) = -B^TPx(t)\) such that the resulting closed-loop system is exponentially stable with guaranteed quadratic cost \(J\leq J^*\), where \(J^*>0\) is some number. The paper relies on the choice of a quadratic Lyapunov functional leading finally to some Linear Matrix Inequalities whose feasibility guarantees the problem's solution.
