This paper proposes an identification method using a self recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN) for dynamic systems. The architecture of the proposed SRWNN is a modified model of the wavelet neural network (WNN). But, unlike the WNN, since a mother wavelet layer of the SRWNN is composed of self-feedback neurons, the SRWNN has the ability to store the past information of the wavelet. Thus, in the proposed identification architecture, the SRWNN is used for identifying nonlinear dynamic systems. The gradient descent method with adaptive teaming rates (ALRs) is applied to 1.am the parameters of the SRWNN identifier (SRWNNI). The ALRs are derived from the discrete Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used to guarantee the convergence of an SRWNNI. Finally, through computer simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SRWNNI.

This paper considers the problem of robust stability for uncertain discrete-time interval time-varying delayed descriptor systems using any combinations of quantization and overflow nonlinearities. First, delay-dependent linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition for discrete-time descriptor systems with time-varying delay and quantization/overflow nonlinearities is presented by proper Lyapunov function. Second, it is shown that the obtained condition can be extended into descriptor systems with uncertainties such as norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and polytopic uncertainties by some useful lemmas. The proposed results can be applied to both descriptor systems and non-descriptor systems. Finally, numerical examples are shown to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness.

This paper presents a stabilization method for NCS (Networked Control Systems) with two additive time-varying delays. Each time delay component between the plant and the controller has different characteristics depending on communication network, and has the upper and lower bounds. The time delay occurring from the controller to the plant has an effect on the time delay occurring from the plant to the controller, and the relationship between two delays is taken into account on the stability analysis. Based on the two additive delay components and the bound conditions, the appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) method derive the stability condition and the $H_{\infty}$ norm constraint for time-varying delayed NCS. Simulation results are finally given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Chattering phenomenon is still a large drawback of VSS. To overcome this problem, various approaches have been reported. A new notion of sliding sector has been proposed recently. In this paper, fuzzy control with time-varying boundary layer using the sliding sector theory with continued input function in the sector is proposed. This paper analyzes the stability, using Lyapunov function on the sliding sector. Computer simulation for inverted pendulum results in elimination of the chattering phenomenon.

On the basis of the first Lyapunov stability theory, this paper develops a dynamic stability criterion for elastic structural systems under arbitrary dynamic loads, and shows the stability criterion using energy variation. After the dynamic stability criterion is validated through a classic example, it is used for the dynamic stability investigation of practical guyed masts under random wind loads. The criterion is reliable, simple and of advantage for structures with large number of elements and nodes. The slack guys and internal resonance between guys and mast are two main factors which induces the dynamic instability of guyed masts, at the same time, some dynamic stability characteristics of guyed masts are found.

In this paper, we present and analyze a LQ (Linear Quadratic) inverse optimal state-consensus protocol for continuous-time multi-agent systems with undirected graph topology. By Lyapunov analysis of the state-consensus error dynamics, we show the sufficient conditions on the algebraic connectivity of the graph to guarantee LQ inverse optimality and closed-loop stability. A more relaxed stability condition is also provided in terms of the algebraic connectivity. Finally, a formation control protocol for multiple mobile robots is proposed based on the target LQ inverse optimal consensus protocol, and the simulation results are provided to verify the performance of the proposed LQ inverse formation control method.

This paper proposes the leader-follower based formation control method for multiple mobile robots. The controller is designed using the measurements of the follower robot such as the relative distance and angle between the leader and the follower. This means that the follower robot does not require the information of the leader robot while keeping the desired formation. Therefore, the proposed control method can reduce the communication loss and the cost for hardware. From Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that all error signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.

This paper presents a robust and speed-sensorless stator flux estimation for induction motor direct torque control. The proposed observer is based on sliding mode approach. Stator electrical equations are used in the rotor orientation reference frame to eliminate the observer dependence on rotor speed. Lyapunov's concept for systems stability is adopted to confine the observer gain. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the observer to parameter mismatch is recovered with an adaptation technique. The nonlinearities of the pulse width modulation voltage source inverter are estimated and compensated to enhance stability at low speeds. Therefore, a new method based on the model reference adaptive system is proposed. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, a delay-dependent $H_{\infty}$ filtering problem is investigated for discrete-time delayed nonlinear systems which include a more general sector nonlinear function instead of employing the commonly used Lipschitz-type function. By using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a less conservative sufficient condition is established for the existence of the desired filter, and then, the corresponding solvability condition guarantee the stability of the filter with a prescribed $H_{\infty}$ performance level. Finally, two simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed filtering scheme.

In this paper, we propose an image-based output feedback robust controller of robot manipulators which have bounded parametric uncertainty. The proposed controller contains an integral action and high-gain observer in order to improve steady state error of joint position and performance deterioration due to measurement errors of joint velocity. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov approach. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulations on a 5-link robot manipulators with two degrees of freedom.
