This paper deals with state observer design problem for a class of nonlinear dynamical systems with interval time-varying delay that satisfies the one-sided Lipschitz condition. The systems under consideration include the well-studied Lipschitz system as a special case and possess inherent advantages with respect to conservativeness. By constructing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and ut...

In this paper we consider the problem of delay-dependent robustH1 control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to describe such systems. Time-delay isassumed to have lower and upper bounds. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskiifunctional method, a sufficient condition for the existence of a robust $H_{infty}$controller is obtained. The fuzz...

In this paper, we present a control methodology for a class of discrete time nonlinear systems that depend on a possibly exogenous scheduling variable. This class of systems consists of an interpolation of nonlinear dynamic equations in strict feedback form, and it may represent systems with a time-varying nonlinear structure. Moreover, this class of systems is able to represent some cases of g...

Nonlinear dynamic processes with time-varying time delays can often be encountered in industry. Time-delay estimation for nonlinear dynamic systems with time-varying time delays is an important issue for system identification. In order to estimate the dynamics of a process, a dynamic neural network with an external recurrent structure is applied in the modeling procedure. In the case where a de...

We consider digital feedback control systems with time-varying sampling periods consisting of an interconnection of a continuous-time nonlinear plant, a nonlinear digital controller and appropriate interface elements between the plant and controller (A/D and D/A converters). For such systems we study the stability properties of an equilibrium (in the Lyapunov sense) and apply these results in t...
