Input-to-State Stabilization of Nonlinear Impulsive Delayed Systems: An Observer-Based Control Approach

This paper addresses the problems of input-to-state stabilization and integral input-to-state stabilization for a class of nonlinear impulsive delayed systems subject to exogenous disturbances. Since the information of plant’s states, time delays, and exogenous disturbances is often hard to be obtained, the key design challenge, which we resolve, is the construction of a state observer-based controller. For this purpose, we firstly propose a corresponding observer which is independent of time delays and exogenous disturbances to reconstruct(or estimate) the plant’s states. And then based on the observations, we establish an observer-based control design for the plant to achieve the inputto-state stability(ISS) and integral-ISS(iISS) properties. With the help of the comparison principle and average impulse interval approach, some sufficient conditions are presented, and moreover, two different linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) based criteria are proposed to design the gain matrices. Finally, two numerical examples and their simulations are given to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.Index TermsAverage impulse interval, input-to-state stabilization(ISS), nonlinear impulsive systems, observer-based control, time delays.
