Nonfragile robust finite-time \(L_2-L_\infty\) controller design for a class of uncertain Lipschitz nonlinear systems with time-delays (Q369826)

Summary: The nonfragile robust finite-time \(L_2-L_\infty\) control problem for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems with uncertainties and time-delays is considered. The nonlinear parameters are considered to satisfy the Lipschitz conditions and the exogenous disturbances are unknown but energy bounded. By using the Lyapunov function approach, a sufficient condition for the existence of nonfragile robust finite-time \(L_2-L_\infty\) controller is given in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The finite-time controller is designed such that the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time bounded for all admissible uncertainties and satisfies the given \(L_2-L_\infty\) control index. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed approach.
