A delay-range-dependent stabilization of uncertain singular time-delay systems with one-sided Lipschitz nonlinearities subject to input saturation

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of delay-range-dependent robust stabilization for nonlinear singular systems with time-delay subject to some constraints. In practice, the control problem of dynamic systems faces a variety of constraints such as: presence of input saturation; one-sided Lipschitz nonlinearities; model uncertainties; and time-varying delay. The interaction of both algebraic and differential equations in singular systems with delayed state variables adds some complexities and difficulties in the procedure of analysis and design of singular time-delay systems. Moreover, the one-sided Lipschitz nonlinearity condition, which is less conservative than the well-known Lipschitz condition, is considered while the presence of actuator saturation also imposes additional complexity in the procedure of controller design. In this regard, by choosing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional with applying the free-weighting matrices approach, the sufficient conditions are derived as linear matrix inequalities which guarantee the asymptotic stability of the resulting uncertain closed-loop singular system. Finally, computer simulations are provided to verify the theoretical results.
