\(H_{\infty}\) control of supply chain based on switched model of stock level (Q1718451)

Summary: This paper is concerned with the problem of \(H_{\infty}\) control for a class of discrete supply chain systems. A new method based on network control technique is presented to address this issue. Supply chain systems are modeled as networked systems with stochastic time delay. Sufficient conditions for \(H_{\infty}\) controller design are given in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities, based on which the mean-square asymptotic stability as well as \(H_{\infty}\) performance is satisfied for such systems. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
