Design of delay observer-based controllers for uncertain time-lag systems (Q1975274)

A class of uncertain systems \[ \dot x(t)=\bigl[A_0+\Delta A(t)\bigr]x(t)+ \bigl[B_0+ \Delta B(t)\bigr] u(t)+\bigl[D_0+ \Delta D(t)\bigr] x(t-\tau)+ E_0u(t-\eta), \] \[ y(t)= \bigl[C_0+\Delta C(t)\bigr]x(t), \] is considered. The uncertain matrices \(\Delta A(t)\), \(\Delta B(t)\), \(\Delta C(t)\), \(\Delta D(t)\), are assumed to be represented by \[ \bigl[\Delta A(t)\Delta B(t) \bigr]=H_1 F(t)[G_1G_2], \quad\Delta C(t)= H_2F(t)G_1 \] \[ \Delta D(t)= H_3F(t) G_3,\quad F^t(t)F(t)\leq I. \] The stability behaviour of Lyapunov-Krasovskij functional \[ V(x_t)= X^t_t(t)W_1 x_t(t)+\int^0_{-\tau}x^t_t (t+\alpha) W_2x_t (t+ \alpha)d \alpha +\int^0_{-\eta} x^t_t(t+\beta) W_3x(t+\beta) d\beta, \] \[ x_t (t)= \bigl(x(t), e(t)\bigr),\;e(t)= x(t)-\widehat x(t). \] is investigated. Sufficient conditions of robust stability are obtained.
