Observer-based H∞ control on stochastic nonlinear systems with time-delay and actuator nonlinearity
Introduction
As a special kind of hybrid systems, Markov jump systems (MJSs) are appropriate and reasonable to describe systems subject to abrupt and random variation in structures or parameters. In recent years, this kind of stochastic systems has been extensively studied due to its comprehensive application in many systems, such as in manufacturing systems, economic systems, electrical systems and communication systems, and the existing results cover a large variety of problems such as stochastic stabilization [1], [2], [3], control [4], [5], [6], and filtering [7], [8], [9], etc. In spite of these developments, there is little work done on nonlinear Markov jump systems (NMJs), actually, random changes or sudden variations in structures or parameters are commonly encountered in lots of practical dynamic nonlinear systems, so the investigation of control problem on NMJs may be more reasonable, we have made some attempts to work on gain-scheduled controller design for NMJSs in [10], and this motivates us to challenge the problem of observer-based robust gain-scheduled controller design for nonlinear Markov jump systems.
It is well known that actuator saturation is probably the most dangerous nonlinearity in many manufacture systems, it is also a well known fact that this nonlinearity degrades system performance and even leads a stable system to an unstable one. It is a challenge to solve control problem in the presence of actuator saturation constraints. Actuator nonlinearity has received increasing attention in recent years, and researchers have made some attempts on control problems of linear systems and nonlinear systems with actuator saturation nonlinearity [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], meanwhile, in the past decade, a great deal of work has been devoted to time delay systems (see, e.g., [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27] and the references therein), as we all know, time-delay plays an important role in system performance, however, to the best of our knowledge, there is little work being done on time delay MJSs with actuator nonlinearity. Hence, it is our intention in this paper to tackle such an important yet challenging problem.
On another research front line, in order to analyze the robust control problem for the aforementioned system, continuous gain-scheduled approach [28] is employed. Compared with the conventional gain-scheduled methods, continuous gain-scheduled approach has one important advantage: the designed controller is a time-varying and nonlinear one, and it varies the gain matrix with the variation of system state.

Partial state estimation of LTI systems with multiple constant time-delays
2016, Journal of the Franklin InstituteCitation Excerpt :Advanced problems in this topic have been covered, including considering multiple stochastic state delays in discrete time systems [17,18], nonlinear systems [19,22], and robust fault diagnosis of sampled-data control systems [21]. Furthermore, observer-based controller design for time-delay systems has been considered by many researchers as in [23,24], due to their practical importance. On the other hand, delay-dependent functional observer design for hereditary LTI systems has been fairly overlooked, and there are a few number of contributions in this regard (see e.g. [25–28]).

2014, Journal of the Franklin InstituteCitation Excerpt :However, the states of the system are assumed to be available in most of the previous works [9], while this assumption may not be satisfied in practical applications. In these cases, observer-based or output feedback controllers might be used [14,25–30]. For instance, a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) strategy to design static output-feedback controllers has been presented in [25].
