On reachable sets for linear systems with delay and bounded peak inputs. (Q1421435): Difference between revisions

Linear control systems with constant coefficients and time-varying point delays in the state are considered. From the summary: ``We address the problem of finding an ellipsoid that bounds the set of the states in Euclidean space that are reachable from the origin, in finite time, by inputs with peak value that is bounded by a prechosen positive scalar. The system may encounter uncertainties in the matrices of its state space model and in the delay length. The Lyapunov-Razumikhin approach is applied and a bounding ellipsoid is obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities that depend on the upper bound of the delay length.'' The theoretical results are then illustrated by a simple numerical example and simulation results.
