a b s t r a c t In this paper, a novel robust delay-dependent guaranteed cost controller is introduced for a class of uncertain nonlinear neutral systems with both norm-bounded uncertainties and nonlinear parameter perturbations. A neutral memory state-feedback control law is chosen such that a quadratic cost function is minimized. On the basis of a descriptor type model transformation, an augmented descriptor form Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is proposed in order to derive a linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition of the synthesis of a robust stabilizing guaranteed cost controller for uncertain nonlinear neutral systems. The descriptor approach is applied for both the delay-differential equation and the neutral difference operator allowing to introduce several additional free weighting matrices in order to obtain further relaxation in the synthesis process. The proposed method of introducing some relaxation into design problem also leads to develop LMI conditions which can be easily solved using interior point algorithms. Two numerical examples have been introduced to show the application of the theoretical results which indicate that the proposed approach improves the guaranteed cost performance. Ó 2009 Elsevier Inc.

1. Introduction Time-delay systems is a significantly fruitful field of research for several decades. The main reason for this is that time-delay naturally arises in many physical and dynamical systems leading to bring about many theoretical and practical problems which need to be resolved. Among some of them, one can notice that a system which is subject to time-delay may exhibit a poor performance, it may get into an unstable behavior or it may not endeavour with external disturbances or even it may excite undesired modes which cause to get far away from meeting the required specifications. Concerning linear time-invariant (LTI) control systems, time-delay may exist in the state of the system which constitutes a broad class of systems so called retarded time-delay systems. Another important class of delay-differential systems is referred to as time-delay systems of neutral type in which the time-delay may be available in both position and velocity of the system. For a theoretical and practical consideration of neutral systems, one can refer to [1–3]. The stability analysis or stabilization synthesis for time-delay systems of neutral type have generally been conducted with respect to two different aspects of interest in the community of time-delay systems. The analysis and synthesis conditions have been developed delay-independently or delay-dependently. For practical time-delay systems involving a delay of finite size, it is reasonable that the need of a condition being applicable for any size of delay changing from 0 to infinity may lead to conservativeness. Hence, in general, delay-independent results are usually considered to be more conservative than their counterparts of delay-dependent type. This also indicates that the stability or stabilization range of time-delay may be used as an evaluation criterion among different theoretical results in terms of conservativeness. Moreover, the noise rejection capability defined in

terms of H1 norm bound and controller performance measured in terms of a quadratic cost bound can as well be listed as the other two aspects of objectives in the analysis and design problems for time-delay systems. In addition to delay phenomenon, one can notice that the systems under consideration may be also subject to uncertainties of norm-bounded type and/or nonlinear parameter perturbations which need to be handled. In recent years, a number of different guaranteed cost controller design investigations have been taken into consideration for neutral systems with or without uncertainties and/or nonlinear parameter perturbations. For example see [4–19] and the references therein. The common feature of the researches listed in [4–19] is that the proposed methods have employed linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. Concerning the effectiveness of a stability condition or the performance of a controller synthesis in terms of the measures of delay conservatism, noise rejection and/or quadratic control cost, it is well known that [20–22] the utilization of some free weighting parameters introduce a considerable rate of relaxation into the results in particular for systems under the existence of uncertainties. However, the existing work on the subject has not taken into account this useful phenomenon because of the fact that the involvement of such slack variables destroy the nature of the LMI form of the stability and/or synthesis conditions. Therefore, the motivation of the present research can be stated as developing a novel technique that allows to develop improved LMI form of delaydependent guaranteed cost controller synthesis through the use of free weighting matrices. The key feature of the proposed methodology is that the inclusion of some new slack parameters do not devastate the LMI nature of the results but more than that the theoretical conditions of a stabilizing controller synthesis become considerably relaxed yielding a better performance. A robust memoryless state-feedback LMI controller design is investigated in [4] for uncertain time-delay systems with norm-bounded uncertainty. Sufficient LMI conditions have been derived in [5] for the existence of a guaranteed cost statefeedback controller of memoryless type. The design problem of guaranteed cost control of uncertain neutral systems with norm-bounded uncertainties is taken into consideration in [6] by employing an LMI technique. Nian and Feng [7] have considered uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delay and have developed some sufficient LMI conditions for the synthesis of a guaranteed cost memoryless state-feedback controller. Employing a memory type of state-feedback controller, Kwon et al. [8] have studied the design of guaranteed cost controller for uncertain time-delay systems by using an LMI approach. A guaranteed cost memoryless state-feedback controller is introduced in [9] for the stabilization of a class of neutral differential systems with parametric uncertainties. Park [10] has proposed a solution to the optimal guaranteed cost control problem by utilizing state-feedback control laws for a class of time-delay systems of neutral type. Both a memory state-feedback based guaranteed cost control and an observer-based output feedback guaranteed cost control problems have been addressed for neutral systems in [11] via LMI methods. For a class of nominal neutral systems, a guaranteed cost state-feedback controller is developed on the basis of an LMI technique in [12]. Introducing a retarded type of integral memory state-feedback controller, Park and Kwon [13] have obtained some LMI criteria to design a guaranteed cost controller for neutral systems. An observer-based guaranteed cost controller synthesis is given in [14] by proposing an LMI feasibility condition. Chen and Liu [15] have investigated the design problem of fuzzy guaranteed cost controller for nonlinear fuzzy neutral systems in terms of the feasibility of some linear matrix inequalities. Utilizing a descriptor form of a system representation and a recent result on bounding of cross terms, a guaranteed cost memoryless state-feedback control of uncertain neutral systems has been studied in [16] on the basis of an LMI methodology. A memory state-feedback control law and a quadratic cost function based on a delayed state approach have been introduced in [17] for the guaranteed cost control design problem of uncertain neutral systems through the feasibility condition of a linear matrix inequality. Utilizing a neutral model transformation and Lyapunov function method, Kwon and Park [18] have developed a guaranteed cost controller for uncertain large scale time-delay systems with delayed feedback. Both delay-independent and delay-dependent guaranteed cost stabilization criteria have been derived in [19] for a class of uncertain neutral systems in terms of an LMI approach. In this paper, the design problem of a robust delay-dependent guaranteed cost control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with both norm-bounded uncertainties and nonlinear parameter perturbations has been studied on the basis of a descriptor form of system representation along with an augmented descriptor type of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional which has been recently proposed by Parlakçı [22]. The proposed approach allows to introduce free weighting matrices embedded in the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional which has a strong potential effect of providing relaxation for the theoretical results without preventing to develop a linear matrix inequality methodology. A memory state-feedback controller in the form of neutral structure is introduced to provide integral and delayed state-feedback for a better control performance. The use of descriptor system representation in the quadratic Lyapunov stability analysis has been applied to both delay-differential equation and neutral operator equation which lead to be able to include additional slack variables when compared to conventional descriptor approach. A sufficient robust delay-dependent guaranteed cost controller synthesis criterion is derived in terms of the feasibility condition of a considerably relaxed linear matrix inequality which can be easily solved using interior point algorithms. Moreover, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to design the optimal guaranteed cost delayed neutral state-feedback controller which minimizes the upper bound of the guaranteed cost function for the closed-loop uncertain nonlinear neutral system. In order to demonstrate a practical application of the proposed guaranteed cost controller synthesis, two numerical examples are presented from the literature. The numerical results show that the novel augmented descriptor LMI approach improves the guaranteed cost performance in comparison to the existing guaranteed cost controllers in the literature.

where K 2 Rmn denotes the feedback gain to be determined appropriately. The objective of the present work can be summarized in the following sequel. The objective of the present research can be stated such that given the positive scalars h, and d, the aim is to design a memory neutral form state-feedback controller (12), the closed-loop system is guaranteed to be asymptotically stable and the quadratic cost function (11) has an upper bound.

Definition 2 [13]. For the uncertain nonlinear neutral system (1) and the quadratic cost function in (11), if there exists a control law u ðtÞ and a positive J  such that for all admissible uncertainties and delays, the system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop value of the cost function (11) satisfies J 6 J  , then J  is said to be a guaranteed cost and u ðtÞ is said to be a guaranteed cost control law of system (1) and cost function (11).

3. Main results Let us assume that system (1) is not subject to any norm-bounded uncertainty, then one can obtain the closed-loop nonlinear delay-differential equation in view of the neutral state-feedback control law (12) as follows:

_  dÞ; tÞ: _ _  dÞ þ BK rðxt Þ þ f ðxðtÞ; tÞ þ gðxðt  hÞ; tÞ þ hðxðt xðtÞ ¼ AxðtÞ þ Ah xðt  hÞ þ Ad xðt

ð13Þ

Differentiating the neutral difference operator, rðxt Þ along the state trajectory of system (13) gives

_ ðxt Þ ¼ A0 xðtÞ þ BK rðxt Þ þ f ðxðtÞ; tÞ þ gðxðt  hÞ; tÞ þ hðxðt _  dÞ; tÞ; r

ð14Þ

where A0 ¼ A þ Ah . Applying a descriptor form of representation [20] for (14) gives

_ ðxt Þ ¼ yðtÞ; r

ð15Þ

_  dÞ; tÞ; yðtÞ ¼ A0 xðtÞ þ BK rðxt Þ þ f ðxðtÞ; tÞ þ gðxðt  hÞ; tÞ þ hðxðt

where yðtÞ is the fast varying descriptor variable. The following theorem summarizes the synthesis of a robust guaranteed cost controller. Theorem 1. Given the positive scalars, h > 0; d > 0, and q1 ; q2 such that q1 þ q2 < 1, if there exist symmetric and positive definite matrices K0 ; X 1 ; Q ; R; S, Z, and matrices X i , Y, i ¼ 2; . . . ; 6 and positive scalars k, ej , j ¼ 1; 2; 3, ek , k ¼ 4; 5; 6 with appropriate dimensions satisfying the following linear matrix inequalities:

Then, by Schur complement [23], one obtains the linear matrix inequality given in (17). This completes the proof. h Next, one can show that by the neutral state-feedback controller (12), the guaranteed cost function in (11) has an upper bound.

can notice that Theorem 1 describes how to synthesize a robust guaranteed cost neutral state-feedback controller. In order to introduce the design of an optimal robust guaranteed cost neutral state-feedback controller that minimizes the upper bound of the quadratic cost function (11), the following theorem is presented. Theorem 2 [13]For the uncertain nonlinear neutral system (1) and the associated quadratic cost function (11), consider the optimization problem defined as follows:

such that if a feasible solution set of X; Q ; R; S; Z; Y; T i ; i ¼ 1; . . . ; 4; ej ; j ¼ 1; 2; 3; e0 can be achieved then the neutral state-feedback control law (12) is said to be an optimal robust guaranteed cost control law ensuring that the quadratic cost function upper R0 bound given in (18) for uncertain nonlinear neutral system (1) is minimized, where h h ðs þ hÞUðsÞUT ðsÞds ¼ W 1 W T1 ; R0 R0 R0 T T T T T T _ ðsÞds ¼ W 4 W . UðsÞU ðsÞds ¼ W 2 W 2 ; h UðsÞU ðsÞds ¼ W 3 W 3 ; d U_ ðsÞU 4 d Proof. It follows from (47)–(51) and Schur complement [23] that one can obtain the equivalent inequalities of T 1 rT ðUð0ÞÞX 1 W 1 6 T 1 , W T2 R1 W 2 6 T 2 , W T3 S1 W 3 6 T 3 , W T4 Z 1 W 4 6 T 4 , respectively.

U_ T ðsÞU_ ðsÞdsZ 1 ¼ trace½W 4 W T4 Z 1  ¼ trace½W T4 Z 1 W 4 :

Therefore, in view of (18) one can easily deduce that the following inequality

is always satisfied. This shows that minimizing the right-hand part of Eq. 52 is equivalent to the minimization of the upper bound of the quadratic cost function (11) which is given in (18). Hence, the proof is completed. h Remark 1. It can be argued that the neutral state-feedback control is difficult to implement in physical systems as it requires the use of exact information on the delay terms. It is clear that an approximation will cause the obtained results to be questionable. Moreover, if the system has time-varying delays, then the proposed approach seems to be difficult to extend and implement. Therefore, we need to underline that the developed method gives improved results only for a class of neutral time-delay systems with constant and known discrete and neutral delays.

However, for the purpose of comparison one noachievable cost function bound obtained in Park [12] is 9.7773 with the feedback gain matrix of 3:3077 .

The upper bound of the cost function is calculated using the solutions of the required matrices yields J  ¼ 3:8706 and the feedback gain of K ¼ ½ 24:8891 26:5678 . This result is also the indicative of the observation that the performance of

Let us assume that the system in (54) is not subject to any nonlinear parameter perturbations, i.e. f ðxðtÞ; tÞ ¼ 0, _  dÞ; tÞ ¼ 0 leading to the example considered in Xu et al. [6]. The stability of the neutral operator, gðxðt  hÞ; tÞ ¼ 0, hðxðt rðxt Þ is ensured by choosing q1 ¼ q2 ¼ 0:3 and obtaining a feasible solution set for the condition given in (16) gives   1:4214 0:0108 ; k ¼ 0:1281.

However, the achievable cost function bound obtained in Xu et al. [6] is 50.0275 with the feedback gain matrix of K ¼ ½ 0:9943 0:9615 . This shows that the proposed methodology is capable of yielding less conservative cost function bounds implying that when the proposed controller is employed, a considerably less amount of control effort is required than that of the controller presented in Xu et al. [6]. Now let us assume that the numerical example of neutral system given in (54) involves nonlinear parameter perturbations defined such that T

e6 ¼ 30:8330; and l ¼ 9:6704 and the upper bound of the cost function is computed as J  ¼ 11:9199 with the neutral state-feedback gain matrix of K ¼ ½ 2:8622 2:5742 . Consequently, it can be seen that even in the case of the existence of nonlinear parameter perturbations, the proposed robust guaranteed cost neutral state-feedback controller performs much better than that given in Xu et al. [6] which is, however, applicable for only norm bounded uncertainty situation.

5. Conclusions This paper has investigated robust delay-dependent guaranteed cost controller design for uncertain neutral systems with nonlinear parameter perturbations. A memory type neutral form of state-feedback control law is introduced. On the basis of employing a descriptor representation, an augmented descriptor form of a candidate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is adopted to study the stability of the neutral system. In particular, with free weighting matrices and new descriptor system approach concerned in system model and operator, sufficient robust delay-dependent linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are derived such that the existence of a guaranteed cost neutral state-feedback controller is ensured once the specified LMIs are satisfied. Moreover, several additional LMI conditions are also presented in the context of a convex optimization algorithm in such a manner that the upper bound of a quadratic cost function is minimized. Two numerical examples of neutral systems which have been presented in the literature are taken into consideration to illustrate the application of the newly developed LMI guaranteed cost controller synthesis approach. Several numerical case studies have concluded that the proposed method of the present paper has been able to assure a less conservative control cost implying that the requirements can be achieved with considerably less amount of control effort in comparison to some of the existing approaches.
