Reliable stabilization of discrete-time nonlinear singular systems with time-varying delays

The problem of delay-dependent reliable control for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear singular system with time-varying delays is investigated. A new set of delay-dependent sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a reliable controller which ensures the singular system to be regular, causal (absence of impulses) and stable for all admissible parameter uncertainties. First, the controller for singular system in the presence of known actuator fault matrix is designed. Further, the result is extended to study the robust stabilization of singular systems with unknown actuator fault matrix. The sensor failures of actuator are considered by a variable, which is varying in a given interval. The conditions for the existence of proposed controller design are established in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be easily solved via standard numerical software. Finally, numerical examples with simulation results are provided to illustrate the usefulness of control design and results are compared with existing results to show the less conservatism of the proposed theory.
