One important challenge with networked systems is that communication delays can significantly deteriorate system performance. This paper considers a model-free predictor framework to compensate for communication delays and improve networked system performance, where the term "model-free" indicates that the predictor does not need to know the dynamic equations governing the system. Stability ana...

This paper focuses on the analysis and the design of families of interval observers for linear systems with a point-wise delay. First, it is proved that classical interval observers for systems without delays are not robust with respect to the presence of delays, no matter how small delays are. Next, it is shown that, in general, for linear systems with delay, the classical interval observers e...

In this paper, we investigate a class of fuzzy CohenGrossberg neural networks with time delays and impulsive effects. By virtue of stochastic analysis, Halanay inequality for stochastic differential equations, we find sufficient conditions for the global exponential square-mean synchronization of the FCGNNs under noise perturbation. In particular, the traditional assumption on the differentiabi...

Linear stationary dynamical systems with multiple constant delays in the state are studied. Their relative and approximate controllability properties with constrained controls are discussed. Definitions of various types of controllability with constrained controls for systems with delays in the state are introduced. Some theorems concerning the relative and the approximate relative controllabil...

This paper proposes three probability models to assess the impact of communication delays and bit errors on differential protection. First, the mechanism of relay protection malfunction caused by communication delays and bit errors is introduced. In general, a channel’s consistent delay or bit error results in refuse-operations, while a channel’s inconsistent delay normally causes false trips. ...
