The aim of the monograph is the development of the basic concepts for standard state-space systems to singular systems. In Chapter 1, the short introduction to singular systems is given with a brief presentation of previous results on stability theory for such systems up to last time. Chapter 2 is devoted to Practical Stability (PS) for nonlinear singular systems. After the introduction of basic notions and concepts of practical stability, some sufficient conditions of PS for the Singular System (SS) \[ E(t)\dot{x}=f(t,x),x(t_{0})=x_{0},t_{0}\in T_{k}=[0,t_{k}), 0<t_{k}\leq +\infty, \] \[ f(t,x)\in C(T_{k}\times R^{n},R^{n}),f(t,0)\equiv 0, rank E(t)\leq n \] are given by the Lyapunov stability theory and comparison principle with application to Nonlinear Singular Systems (NSS) with disturbance inputs. Admissible input set at which the system is practically stable is described together with the determination of the practical stability of the system for a given admissible input set. Then the PS for NSS with time delays is investigated in terms of two measures and sufficient conditions of PS are given basing on the Lyapunov stability theory and a comparison principle. Using Lyapunov functions and differential inequalities for NSS, the comparison principle is developed which is a generalization of the existed comparison principle for standard state-space systems. Sufficient conditions of practical stabilization and controllability are derived. This comparison principle can be used to analyze other solution properties, in particular their boundedness. In Chapter 3, strongly absolute stability for Lur'e singular systems (feedback-connected systems consisting of a linear part with nonlinear feedback constrained by a sector condition) is studied. After the basic concepts for linear and nonlinear SS and definitions the circle criteria of strongly absolute stability for single-input-single-output (SISO) and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) Lur'e singular systems are derived with examples of their applications. It should be noted that the considered system is not impulsive in the SISO case and the existing circle criterion is directly generalized on singular systems by the classic Nyquist stability criterion, which is inapplicable for impulsive systems. Therefore, the authors propose more general Nyquist-like criterion. For the MIMO Lur'e singular systems, a stability investigation circle criterion is derived on the base of a generalized Lyapunov function and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). The second criterion of absolute stability -- the Popov criterion -- is based on a Lur'e Lyapunov function explicitly depending on the nonlinearities, while the circle criterion is based on a quadratic Lyapunov function. However, the derived Popov criterion gives only a sufficient condition of the Generalized Lur'e Lyapunov function (GLLF). In the last section, a Popov-like criterion is given with necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the GLLF. Input to State Stability (ISS) as a good way for the description of the robust stability of nonlinear systems with exogenous disturbances for the Lur'e singular systems is investigated in Chapter 4. After necessary preliminaries, the concept of ISS for Lur'e singular systems is introduced, a LMI-based criterion for Lur'e singular systems to be ISS is proposed and a state feedback controller design method is given. In addition, the ISS of Lur'e singular systems whose linear parts are allowed to be unstable is also investigated with the relevant stability criterion. Observer design problems for a class of NSS are studied in Chapter 5. Here, the global Lipschitz condition is removed and it is only assumed that the nonlinearity is of quadratic order. With this assumption, the observer error system is represented as the interconnection of a linear time-invariant SS and a time-varying nonlinearity in the unbounded sector, i.e. as a Lur'e SS. Thus, the convergence of the observer error is equivalent to the stability of the obtained Lur'e SS. However, the results of Chapter 3 require that nonlinearities to be bounded sector constrained and time-invariant. After necessary additional constructions, the authors elaborate a unified design method for input-state stability investigation for NSS with disturbances. Chapter 6 is devoted to absolute stability of Lur'e singularly perturbed systems. On the base of two lemmas for \(\varepsilon\)-dependent Lyapunov function construction, circle and Popov criteria for absolute stability of Lur'e singularly perturbed systems are derived. Both criteria are expressed by \(\varepsilon\)-independent linear matrix inequalities which can be solved without any numerical problems. In Chapter 7, the multi-objective control for one class of fuzzy singularly perturbed systems. On LMI-based approach to design an \(\varepsilon\)-dependent state feedback controller is proposed. By virtue of this method, the obtained controller can ensure that for any singular perturbation parameter less than or equal to the given bound, the prescribed \(H_{\infty}\) performance bound is satisfied and the closed-loop poles of each subsystem are all within the predefined LMI stability region. The proposed approach requires that the singular perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon\) is available for feedback. Therefore, a significant and challenging problem emerges when the parameter \(\varepsilon\) is subjected to uncertainties. Every section of the monograph is equipped by illustrative examples. In conclusion note that the majority of the basic results of this monograph was formerly unknown and are belonging to the authors.
