We investigate the stability of continuous-time linear switching systems with a guaranteed dwell time. It is known that the dwell time restrictions make the main methods for deciding stability such as Lyapunov functions and discretization inapplicable, at least in their standard forms. Our work focuses on adapting the discretization approach to address this limitation. The discretization is done merely by replacing arbitrary switching law with piecewise-constant functions with a fixed step size. We demonstrate that this classical method can be modified so that it not only becomes applicable under the dwell time constraints but also outperforms traditional methods for unconstrained systems. Namely, the discretization with the step size approximates the Lyapunov exponent with the precision , and the constant can be explicitly evaluated. This result is unexpected, as the approximation accuracy for systems without a guaranteed dwell time is linear in . Our methods implementation is efficient in dimensions up to 10 for arbitrary systems and up to several hundreds for positive systems. The numerical results are provided.

This paper deals with the event-triggered gain-scheduling control of nonlinear systems based on the differential algebraic representation (DAR) approach. Since the parameters of the gain-scheduled controller depend on the sampled state information, a mismatch is induced between the controller and the DAR of the plant. To deal with this issue, we propose a novel dynamic event-triggered control strategy with a compensation term for the mismatch. Then, we propose a co-design condition, in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to design the gain-scheduling controller and the event-triggering mechanism. We show that Zeno behavior is avoided with the proposed event-triggering mechanism. Moreover, as the LMI conditions are derived by constraining the region of validity of the DAR, we estimate the region of attraction of the closed-loop equilibrium lying inside this region of validity. Finally, a multi-objective optimization problem is provided to enlarge the estimate of the region of attraction and minimize the number of transmissions. Numerical simulations illustrate the advantages of the proposed condition in reducing conservativeness when compared to related work, as well as reducing the number of events.

This paper studies an anti-disturbance impulsive control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with sampled measurements and input disturbances. It considers that the unknown input disturbances are generated by an exogenous system with additional disturbances. The goal is to construct an impulsive disturbance observer (IDO) to estimate the external disturbance and to use the disturbance estimate as a feed-forward compensator of the impulsive control so that the input disturbance can be rejected. Two types of design schemes are proposed in the linear matrix inequality framework. For the plants with sampled output measurements, a full-order IDO is constructed, under which both the state and the external disturbance can be estimated simultaneously. For the plants with state information available at impulse instants, a reduced-order IDO is designed, where only the estimation of the external disturbance is involved. Accordingly, the performance levels relative to the capability against the additional disturbance are respectively analyzed. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the validity of the results.

This paper presents a systematic mathematical analysis of the network reconstruction problem based on the algebraic model of networked evolutionary games, focusing on two data scenarios: (1) players’ payoff and strategy data, and (2) only players’ strategy data. Begin with the first scenario, the players’ payoff functions are transformed into a system of linear equations concerning neighbors using the payoff vector of the fundamental network game. Then the necessary and sufficient conditions for reconstructing the player network from the payoff functions are provided. In the second scenario, by considering the myopic best response and the unconditional imitation updating rules, the conditions under which the fundamental network game ensures that the strategy dynamic equations contain information about all player neighbors are investigated. Moreover, criteria for determining neighbors from these strategy dynamic equations are proposed. Finally, two examples demonstrate the network reconstruction process.

This paper studies the asymptotic synchronization of drive-response stochastic Boolean networks. We propose two coupled Boolean networks with stochastic sequences and then derive their algebraic forms using semi-tensor product property. Subsequently, a novel eigenvalue-based approach is introduced to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic synchronization of these networks. While prior synchronization results were typically derived from the powers of the transition probability matrix, our method requires only the eigenvalues of this matrix. Finally, several examples are provided to validate the results obtained.

This paper is concerned with the stability of nonlinear delayed systems with stochastic impulses, which are assumed to be triggered by renewal process, Poisson process, semi-Markov process and Markov process, respectively. Some sufficient conditions are achieved by using the method of Lyapunov function and the upgraded comparison principle. It is shown that the stability of the system containing both stable and unstable impulses can be achieved by using the structure of stochastic process. To show that the criteria are effective, a numerical example is provided.

This paper investigates the mean square output tracking control problem in heterogeneous multi-agent systems (HMASs) influenced by semi-Markovian switching topologies and multiple forms measurement noises. A novel distributed output feedback control scheme is proposed, ensuring robustness in environments characterized by stochastic topology changes and diverse noise types. Unlike previous methods, our research addresses both additive and multiplicative noises and general sojourn time distributions during topology switching, thereby providing a more general framework. The stability and convergence of the proposed approach are rigorously analyzed using Lyapunov-based techniques, and its efficacy is validated through two examples.

In this study, the problem of multiple circles formation-circumnavigation switching control around a nonstationary target of multiple heterogeneous autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems with intermittent communication among partial individuals is investigated. An intermittent communication-based two-layer control strategy is proposed, comprising finite time observers and finite time controller. Since the communication between individuals is intermittent and only partial AUVs can directly obtain partial information from the target, a distributed adaptive finite-time hybrid observer is designed to estimate the information of the target. Additionally, another observer is developed to estimate the state of cluster leader. Subsequently, based on geometric structure and variable substitution, a distributed finite-time multiple circles formation-circumnavigation switching controller is designed, using the estimated value as the reference signal. The controller enables smooth switching between formation and circumnavigation for multiple AUV systems in intermittent communication scenarios, which can effectively improve the economy and practicality of applications. A homogeneous technique is used to show that the control objective can be achieved in finite time under the proposed controller. Numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

It is universally acknowledged that noise can stabilize systems. Given an unstable impulsive system, can it be stabilized by Lévy noise? In this article, we mainly discuss the stochastic stabilization of unstable impulsive systems via Lévy noise. First, the conditions for -moment exponential stability of unstable impulsive systems under continuous-time feedback control with Lévy noise are derived using the Lyapunov function method. Second, the almost sure exponentially stable conditions for the unstable impulsive systems under discrete-time feedback control with Lévy noise are derived through the comparison method. Additionally, several new stochastic stabilization strategies are proposed to design stochastic discrete-time feedback control for deriving almost sure exponentially stable results through stochastic analysis. Finally, two examples and their relevant simulation figures are given to check the validity of the results.

This article addresses a novel attack-resilient corrective control scheme for nondeterministic input/state asynchronous sequential machines (ASMs) vulnerable to actuator attacks. The considered actuator attack causes ASMs to undergo unauthorized state transitions in both fundamental and non-fundamental mode. In comparison with the case of deterministic ASMs, different control objectives and reachability conditions should be presented to fulfill complete attack detection and recovery. In the framework of corrective control theory with the state-burst feedback, we present the existence condition and design procedure for an attack-resilient corrective controller which harnesses nondeterminism in the machine’s operation. To demonstrate the superiority and applicability of the proposed control strategy, hardware experiments on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) circuits implementing a space-borne digital system are conducted and convincing experimental verifications are provided.
