Simultaneous stabilization of a collection of uncertain discrete-time systems with time-varying state-delay via discrete-time sliding mode control

摘要

This paper considers the simultaneous stabilization problem which concerns finding a single controller to simultaneously stabilize a finite collection of discrete-time nonlinear systems with time-varying state delay and norm-bounded uncertainties. For this purpose, a simultaneously stabilizing discrete-time sliding mode controller (DT-SMC) is synthesized. Based on the delay-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method, sufficient conditions are derived which guarantee the existence of a common sliding surface in terms of a nonconvex feasibility problem. The cone complementarity linearization approach is exploited to transform the nonconvex conditions into a convex optimization problem. Finally, the robust simultaneously stabilizing DT-SMC is designed in order to draw the closed-loop trajectories of each system onto the common sliding surface in finite time and to maintain it thereafter. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by simulation of a practical example.
