In this paper we consider the specific types of the generalized continuous-time Lyapunov equation and the existence of solution. This is motivated to analyze the system stability in situations where descriptor system has infinite eigenvalue. As main results, firstly the necessary and sufficient condition for stability of the descriptor system with index one or two will be proposed. Secondly, for the general case of any index, the similar condition for stability of descriptor system will be proposed with the specific type of the generalized Lyapunov equation. Finally some examples are used to show the validity of proposed methods.

This paper proposes a high performance position controller for a driving system using a time optimal controller which has been widely used to control driving systems to achieve desired reference position or velocity in a minimum response time. The main purpose of this research lies in an improvement of transient response performance rather than that of steady-state response in comparison with other control strategies. In order to refine the scheme of time optimal control, Lyapunov stability proofs are incorporated in a controller of standard second order system model. This scheme is applied to the control of a driving system. In view of the simulation and experiment results, the standard second order system model exhibits better minimum-time control performance and robustness than double integral system model does.

This paper proposes a robust high-gain observer design scheme for nonlinear systems and its stability is analyzed based on Lyapunov theory. It is assumed that their states are unmeasurable. The proposed high-gain observer has the integrator of the estimation error in dynamics. It improves the performance of high-gain observers and makes the proposed observer robust to noisy measurements, uncertainties and peaking phenomenon as well. Its stability is analyzed by the Lyapunov approach. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, it is applied to output feedback controllers and some comparative simulation result with the existed observer based output feedback controllers and state feedback controllers is given.

The steam generator water level control system is studied as a class of randomly sampled nonlinear control systems. The sampling interval and the loop amplification factor are considered as random variables in order to take the operator behavior in account. Stochastic stability using Lyapunov method is used without determining such Lyapunov function. The derived stability criterion is verified with time-domain simulation using the data of CANDU type nuclear power plant, Wolsung 1.

선형 시스템에 대한 Lyapunov 함수의 구성법은 잘 알려져 있으나, 비선형 시스템의 Lyapunov 함수 구성법은 아직 체계화되어 있지 못하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는, 비선형 시스템의 안전도 해석을 위하여, 종래의 정상상태 부근에서 Taylor 전개에 의한 선형화 기법에 의존하지 않고, 비선형 시스템을 나타내는 상태공간의 활동성 모델로부터, 비선형성을 나타내는 항을 분리하여, 특수행렬변환시킴으로서, 선형 시스템의 Lyapunov 함수 구성법을 살린, 행렬다항식형 Lyapunov 함수를 구성하고, 이를 유도전동기의 안전도 해석에 적용시켰다. 그 결과, 구해진 안정영역은, 선형화에 의한 것보다는 훨씬 넓은 초공간으로 표현되는 유도전동기의 점근안정영역이 되었다.

The purpose of this paper is the derivation and development of the new definitions and methods for the new estimation of robustness for the systems having structured uncertainties. This proposition adopts the theoretical analysis of the Lyapunov direct methods, that is, the sign properties of the Lyapunov function derivative integrated along finite intervals of time, in place of the original method of the sign properties of the time derivative of the Lyapunov function itself. This is the new sufficient criteria to relax the stability condition and is used to generate techniques for the robust design of control systems with structured perturbations. The systems considered are assumed to be nominally linear, with time-variant, nonlinear bounded perturbations. This new techniques demonstrate the improvement of robustness bounds from the numerical results.

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the stability region in state space for uncertain linear systems with input saturation. For stability analysis, two Lyapunov functions are chosen. One is for the lineal region and the other is for the saturated legion. Piecewise Lyapunov functions are obtained by solving successive linear matrix inequalites(LMIs) relaxations. A sufficient condition for robust stability is derived in the form of stability region of initial conditions. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper propose a new delay-dependent stability criterion of neutral time-delay systems. By employing double-integral terms in augmented states and constructing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii's functional, a delay-dependent stability criterion is established in terms of Linear Matrix Inequality. Through numerical examples, the validity and improvement results obtained by applying the proposed stability criterion will be shown.

In our previous research, we proposed a robust saturation controller which involves both control input saturation and structured real parameter uncertainties. This controller can analytically prescribed the upper and lower bounds of parameter uncertainties, and guarantee the closed-loop robust stability of the system in the presence of actuator's saturation. And the availability and the effectiveness of the proposed robust saturation controller were verified through numerical simulations. In this paper, we verify the robust stability of this controller through experimental tests. Expecially, we show unstable cases of other controllers in comparison with this controller. Experimental tests are carried out in the laboratory using a two-story test structure with a hydraulic-type active mass damper.

In this paper, the robust stability, and the quadratic performance of linear uncertain systems are studied. A quadratic Lyapunov function candidate with time-varying matrix is derived to provide robust stability bounds. Also upper bounds of a quadratic performance is given under the assumption that the uncertain system is stable. Both the robust stability bounds and the upper bounds of a quadratic performance are obtained as solutions of a class of modified Lyapunov equations.
