Design Of Delay Based Controllers For Linear Time Invariant Systems

Design of Delay-Based Controllers for Linear Time-Invariant Systems

This book provides the mathematical foundations needed for designing practical controllers for linear time-invariant systems. The authors accomplish this by incorporating intentional time delays into measurements with the goal of achieving anticipation capabilities, reduction in noise sensitivity, and a fast response. The benefits of these types of delay-based controllers have long been recognized, but designing them based on an analytical approach became possible only recently. Design of Delay-Based Controllers for Linear Time-Invariant Systems provides a thorough survey of the field and the details of the analytical approaches needed to design delay-based controllers. In addition, readers will find accessible mathematical tools and self-contained proofs for rigorous analysis, numerous examples and comprehensive computational algorithms to motivate the results, and experiments on single-input single-output systems and multi-agent systems using real-world control applications to illustrate the benefits of intentionally inducing delays in control loops. This book is intended for control engineers in various disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, and mechatronics engineering. It offers valuable insights for graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in industry.

Robust Filtering and Fault Detection of Switched Delay Systems

Switched delay systems appear in a wide field of applications including networked control systems, power systems, memristive systems. Though the large amount of ideas with respect to such systems have generated, until now, it still lacks a framework to focus on filter design and fault detection issues which are relevant to life safety and property loss. Beginning with the comprehensive coverage of the new developments in the analysis and control synthesis for switched delay systems, the monograph not only provides a systematic approach to designing the filter and detecting the fault of switched delay systems, but it also covers the model reduction issues. Specific topics covered include: (1) Arbitrary switching signal where delay-independent and delay-dependent conditions are presented by proposing a linearization technique. (2) Average dwell time where a weighted Lyapunov function is come up with dealing with filter design and fault detection issues beside taking model reduction problems. The monograph is intended for academic researchers and engineers in systems and control community who will discover of particular value in dealing with filter design and fault detection of switched system and time delay systems. In addition, it will be helpful and complementary reading for graduate students in such field.
