Interrelationships among noncooperative and coalition stability concepts

Insightful theorems are established on interrelationships among coalition and noncooperative stability concepts defined within the paradigm of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution. More specifically, the newly defined coalition stability def＇mitions that are considered are coalition Nash stability （CNash）, coalition general metarationality （CGMR）, coalition symmetric metarationality （CSMR） and coalition sequential stability （CSEQ）, along with their earlier-defined noncooperative versions. A range of interesting new theorems are derived to establish connections among these coalition stability concepts as well as between noncooperative and coalition stability definitions. Applications with respect to the games of Prisoner＇s Dilemma and Chicken, as well as a groundwater contamination dispute, demonstrate how the various stability definitions can be applied in practice and confirm the validity of some of the theorems as well as point out, by example, certain types of relationships which cannot hold.

Delay-dependent stability and stabilization of a class of linear switched time-varying delay systems

The stability and stabilization of a class of linear switched time-varying delay systems are investigated. A piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function (PWQLF) is constructed and is used to obtain the stability conditions based on the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The stabilizing controller for this class of system is then designed and the solution of the desired controller can be obtained by a cone complementary linearization algorithm. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the less conservativeness of the new stability and the validity of the controller design procedures.     

Exponential stability of linear distributed parameter switched systems with time-delay

In this paper, the exponential stability analysis for ODE switched systems with time delay is extended to distributed parameter switched systems (DPSS) in Hilbert space. For a given family of exponential stable subsystems, this paper focuses on finding conditions to guarantee the overall DPSS’ exponential stability. Based on semigroup theory, by applying piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals method incorporated average dwell time approach, sufficient conditions for exponential stability are derived. These conditions are given in the form of linear operator inequalities (LOIs) where the decision variables are operators in Hilbert space, and the stability properties depend on switching rule. Being applied to heat switched propagation equations, these LOIs are reduced to standard Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.     

New Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functional for Stability Analysis of Linear Systems with Time-Varying Delay

This paper focuses on the problem of delay-dependent stability of linear systems with time-varying delay. A new delay-product-type augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional(LKF) is constructed. Based on the LKF and by employing a generalized free-matrix-based integral inequality,less conservative delay-dependent stability criteria are obtained. Finally, two well-known numerical examples are used to confirm the effectiveness and the superiority of the presented stability criteria.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Stability of Neural Networks with Delay-Time

In this paper we study the dynamic properties and stabilities of neural networks with delay-time (which includes the time-varying case) by differential inequalities and Lyapunov function approaches. The criteria of connective stability, robust stability, Lyapunov stability, asymptotic atability, exponential stability and Lagrange stability of neural networks with delay-time are established, and the results obtained are very useful for the design, implementation and application of adaptive learning neural networks.     

Two effective stability criteria for linear time-delay systems with complex coefficients

This paper presents a method for directly analyzing the stability of complex-DDEs on the basis of stability switches. Two novel criteria are developed for the stability of a class of complex-DDEs. These results not only generalize some known results in literature but also greatly reduce the complexity of analysis and computation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed criteria, the stabilization problem of the extended time delay auto-synchronization (ETDAS) control and n time delay auto-synchronization (NTDAS) control are then further investigated, respectively. The numerical simulations are consistent with the above theoretical analysis.

New results on the robust stability analysis of neural networks with discrete and distributed time delays

Delay-dependent robust stability of cellular neural networks with time-varying discrete and distributed time-varying delays is considered. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality （LMIs） technique, delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of LMIs avoiding bounding certain cross terms, which often leads to conservatism. The effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria and the improvement over the existing results are illustrated in the numerical examples.     

2-D algebraic test for robust stability of time-delay systems with interval parameters

1. INTRODUCTION The robust stability test of time-delay systems with interval parameters is to determine whether the eigenvalues of the characteristic polynomials of the systems are located at open left half complex plane. Different from classical 1-D systems, the eigenvalues of the characteristic polynomials are infinite, classical robust stability results (Kharitonov extreme test and Edge test) for 1-D systems are not suitable for the stability test of the characteristic polynomials of…

Stability and guaranteed cost control for uncertain time-delay Lur'e systems

The problem of delay-dependent stability and guaranteed cost control （GCC） for a class of uncertain time-delay Lur＇e systems are studied. By using an improved integral inequality,a less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion is formulated as the feasibility problem of the linear matrix inequality （LMI）. The criterion is proved theoretically to be less conservative than some existing results for linear time-delay systems. Because of the fact that the matrices in the LMI-based stability criteria usually have different dimensions, different structures, and different variables, the conservatism analysis of the criteria is difficult. This study brings about a new insight into the comparison of conservatism among different stability criteria, which are expressed in certain LMI forms. The existence of the guaranteed cost controller is given in terms of matrix inequalities. The condition can be solved by using an iterative procedure and does not need any parameter tuning. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Dynamic Event-Triggered Control for Nonlinear Systems: A Small-Gain Approach

An event-triggered control(ETC) system transmits data packages and updates control inputs only when the predefined criterion is satisfied. In this way, network communication and computing resources are scheduled more reasonably in contrast to the traditional periodic sampling strategy.Small-gain approach proposed in recent literatures is a new modeling method to deal with nonlinear ETC systems. Different from traditional ETC models, stability criteria are proposed in the form of input to state stability(ISS) gain to design the triggering mechanisms. This paper introduces additional dynamic variables in this model and proposes a small-gain based dynamic event-triggered strategy.Sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability of the system are derived with the help of cyclic-smallgain theorem and Zeno behaviors are avoided to ensure the feasibility of this method in practical applications. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
