Non-Fragile Exponential $H_\infty $ Control for a Class of Nonlinear Networked Control Systems With Short...

This paper investigates non-fragile exponential H∞ control problems for a class of uncertain nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with randomly occurring information, such as the controller gain fluctuation and the uncertain nonlinearity, and short time-varying delay via output feedback controller. Using the nominal point technique, the NCS is converted into a novel time-varying discrete time model with norm-bounded uncertain parameters for reducing the conservativeness. Based on linear matrix inequality framework and output feedback control strategy, design methods for general and optimal non-fragile exponential H∞ controllers are presented. Meanwhile, these control laws can still be applied to linear NCSs and general fragile control NCSs while introducing random variables. Finally, three examples verify the correctness of the presented scheme.
