Robust Controlled Positive Delayed Systems with Interval Parameter Uncertainties: A Delay Uniform Decomposition Approach

Abstract

Abstract This paper is concerned with robust stabilization of continuous linear positive time-delay systems with parametric uncertainties. The delay considered in this work is a bounded time-varying function. Previously, we have demonstrated that the equidistant delay-decomposition technique is less conservative when it is applied to linear positive time-delay systems. Thus, we use simply a delay bi-decomposition in an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. By using classical and partitioned control gains, the state-feedback controllers developed in our work are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The efficiency of the proposed robust control laws is illustrated with via an example.
