Abstract
The paper studies absolute stability of neutral differential nonlinear systems
where x is an unknown vector, A, B and D are constant matrices, b and c are column constant vectors, 𝜏 > 0 is a constant delay and f is a Lurie-type nonlinear function satisfying Lipschitz condition. Absolute stability is analyzed by a general Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional with the results compared with those previously known.
1 Introduction
The paper considers absolute stability of a system of nonlinear differential equations of neutral type
where x=(x1, ⋅, xn)T:[−τ, ∞) → ℝn, A, B and D are n × n constant matrices, b is an n-dimensional column constant vector, 𝜏 > 0 is a constant delay,
and c is a column n-dimensional constant vector where the superscript T denotes the transpose of a vector (or a matrix).
1.1 On absolute stability
The problem of absolute stability was formulated in 1944 by Lurie and Postnikov in [39]. In [1,8], generalizations of the problem are carried out, and the well-known Aizermann hypothesis [1, 49] formulated (some scholars still adhere to referring to the problems associated with absolute stability as Lurie nonlinear control system ones). The initial period of studying the theory of absolute stability is associated with the name of its founder [39,40], who tried to solve the problem with the direct Lyapunov method by means of a Lyapunov function of the “quadratic form plus the integral of nonlinearity" type. This classical method for investigating absolute stability using Lyapunov’s functions was used by many authors [1 ,40, 41, 42, 60]. Since the mid 1960's the intensive development in the theory of absolute stability has included the so-called frequency method, initiated by Popov [21, 22,43,45]. In addition to the direct use of so called Popov’s criterion for the study of absolute stability, special methods for its application are sought and analogous frequency criteria are formulated [2, 25]. An in-depth analysis of both of the above methods, a study of the relationship between them, and a number of new original approaches are contained in the numerous publications by Yakubovich and his followers [21, 22, 34, 59]. When constructing mathematical models of real systems for a more precise description of the operation of systems, there is a need to consider equations with delay and, in general, neutral type equations (for a recent overview we refer to [48]). Unfortunately, time-delay phenomenon can frequently degrade performance of control systems or even can lead to instability. Therefore, the research of stability in general and, particularly, absolute stability of time-delay Lurie systems is of important significance [10,11,17, 19, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32,35,47]. In [31], Krasovskii replaces Lyapunov functions by what is now called Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, which find ample applications in setting out the conditions of stability. Numerous ingenious constructions have been published of such functionals, often using the so-called Razumihin condition [50]. In particular, we refer to [5,9,20, 46, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58,]. Surveys and overviews of the methods and results related to absolute stability achieved since the birth of the theory in 1944 can be found, for example, in [2, 21,32, 33, 34]). Note that a positivity-based approach, closely related to the concept of the Lyapunov functions, which uses the nonnegativity of entries of the Cauchy matrices, is developed in [3, 4, 6, 7,12,13, 15]. The above methods are widely used in investigating the stability of neutral differential equations. For recent results we also refer to [14,16,24,36,54,55, 57] and to the references therein.
1.2 Preliminaries, the problem considered, and the paper structure
Throughout the paper we use the following restriction on the nonlinearity of f (not mentioning this explicitly when formulating results). Namely, assume that there exists a k > 0 such that
Such a nonlinearity is often said to be of a Lurie type or, based on a geometrical interpretation of (1.3), we also say that f satisfies a sectorial-condition.
Let φ:[−τ, 0] → ℝn be a continuously differentiable vector-function. In addition to system (1.1), consider an initial condition
A solution of the problem (1.1), (1.4) is understood within the meaning of the following definition.
Definition 1
A function x:[−τ, ∞) → ℝn is called a solution of (1.1), (1.4) if it is continuous on [−τ, ∞), continuously differentiable on [−τ, ∞)∖{τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅}, satisfying (1.1) on [0, ∞)∖{τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅}, and satisfying (1.4).
The existence of a solution of the problem (1.1), (1.6) on [−τ, ∞) within the meaning of Definition 1, its uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial values (1.4) are the consequences of the linearity of the first three terms in the right-hand side of (1.1), the Lipschitzeanity of f and the sectorial condition (1.3).
For a vector
where 𝜍 > 0 is a constant. If
Listed below are the definitions of stability used.
Definition 2
The zero solution of system (1.1) is exponentially stable in the metric C0 if, for the solution x:[−τ, ∞) → ℝn of (1.1), (1.4) we have
where
Definition 3
The zero solution of system (1.1) is exponentially stable in the metric C1, if it is stable in the metric C0 and, for t ∈ [0, ∞)∖{τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅},
where
Definition 4
The system (1.1) is said to be absolutely stable if its zero solution is exponentially stable in the metric C1 for an arbitrary function f, satisfying (1.3).
In the present paper we solve the problem of the absolute stability of system (1.1) within the meaning of Definition 4. The paper is structured as follows. First, the exponential C0 stability of (1.1) is studied in part 2 with the main result of this part being Theorem 1. Its proof is carried out by the Lyapunov-Krasovskii method of functionals using a special functional V. Such an approach needs the positivity of a matrix (the matrix S below) appearing in the estimate of the derivative of the functional V along solutions of (1.1) . Second, the exponential C1 stability of (1.1) is studied in part 3. The proof of the main result of this part (Theorem 2) is based on the possibility to exclude the delayed derivative term
2 Exponential C0 Stability
Below, we give conditions for C0 exponential stability of (1.1) . From the proof, an estimate of the convergence of solutions follows as well. To solve the problem of absolute stability within the meaning of Definition 4 for system (1.1) under restriction (1.3) , the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (2.1) will be used of the quadratic type with respect to both the current coordinates and their derivatives,
In (2.1), t=0, x is a solution of system (1.1), H, G1, G2 are positive-definite symmetric matrices,
These will be used in the paper. We also use the notation
The stability result formulated below depends, among others, on the positive definiteness of an auxiliary (3n + 1) × (3n + 1) matrix S. This matrix depends on matrices, vectors and constants used in (1.1) –(1.3) , (2.1) and on a parameter ν⩾0, not yet involved. In other words, the elements of S are constructed using β, ς1, ς2, k, ν, b, c, A, B, D, H, G1, G2, formally
In its block form, the matrix S is defined as
with block-matrices
where I in S14 is the unit n × n matrix.
Theorem 1
If there exist non-negative constants β, ν, positive constants ς1, ς2 and positive definite symmetric matrices H, G1 and G2 such that the matrix S is positive definite, then the zero solution of system (1.1) is exponentially stable in the metric C0 and the solution of the problem (1.1), (1.4) satisfies
where t ∈ [0, ∞) and fixed number γ satisfies
Proof. The proof splits into two parts. In part i), an estimate of the total derivative of the functional (2.1) along solutions of the system (1.1) is computed. Part ii) deals with the exponential stability of solutions to system (1.1) in the metrix C0.
i) Let us calculate the total derivative of the functional (2.1) along solutions of (1.1) . Assuming t ∈ [0, ∞)∖{τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅}, we have
Before writing this derivative in a form with the matrix S, we rewrite it using system (1.1) as follows
Define an auxiliary vector
Now, all the non-integral terms in the right-hand side of the last expression can be written using this vector and the matrix S. Omitting technicalities, it can be verified term by term that the identity
holds. Then, (2.5) can be written as
Due to (1.3),
As S is positive definite, we have
ii) Prove the exponential stability of the solutions to system (1.1) in the metrix C0. Below we analyze two cases dealing with ς ⩾ δ and ς < δ where
ii1) Let ς ⩾ δ . Then, from inequality (2.2), we get
and
Inequality (2.8) yields
or
We get,
Integrating this inequality over (0, t), which is a correct operation because the set of isolated points {t=τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅} is countable, for t=0, we obtain
ii2) Let ς < δ. Rewrite the right-hand part of the inequality (2.2) as follows
Now, using (2.8), we get
Then,
and integrating this inequality over (0, t), we obtain (as in ii1))
From (2.9) and (2.10) we deduce that, in both cases ii1), ii2) considered, we have
Utilizing (2.2) and (2.11), we get (the below inequalities hold for t≥0 as well)
hence, it follows that
Now, after a simple estimation of the right-hand side,
where
Put η0=γ/2. Inequality (2.3) is proved. The zero solution of (1.1) is C0 exponentially stable within the meaning of Definition 2 since (1.6) holds. □
3 Exponential C1 Stability and Absolute Stability
To prove the exponential stability in metric C1, we need the following lemma providing a formula transforming neutral system (1.1) to a delayed one of the Volterra type.
Lemma 1
Let m ∈ {1, 2, ⋅} be fixed. Then, for t ∈ ((m − 1)τ, mτ), the solution of the problem (1.1), (1.4) satisfies the equation
Proof. We will prove the lemma by induction. Let x(t) be the solution of problem (1.1), (1.4). Then, for m=1, the lemma holds because formula (3.1) coincides with initial system (1.1) . Let us recall that, if we deal with a sum of the form
If m=j and t ∈ ((j − 1)τ, jτ), then, using (1.1), we get for the term
Finally, substituting (3.3) into the right-hand side of (3.2), we derive
i.e., the formula (3.1) holds for m=j as well. □
Theorem 2
Let the hypotheses of Theorem 1, where γ is fixed, hold and let
Then, the zero solution of the system (1.1) is exponentially stable in the metric C1 and the solution of the problem (1.1), (1.4) satisfies
where t ∈ [0, ∞)∖{τ s, s=0, 1, ⋅} and
Proof. By Theorem 1, the zero solution of the system (1.1) is exponentially stable in the metric C0. We show that the zero solution of (1.1) is also C1 exponentially stable. As it follows from formula (3.1) in Lemma 1, for t ∈ ((m − 1)τ, mτ), m=1, 2, ⋅, we have
From (1.3) and (1.2) we derive ∣f(σ(t − iτ))∣ ⩽ k∣ σ(t − iτ)∣ ⩽ k∣c∣ x(t − iτ) ∣ and, therefore,
Let us estimate ∣x(t)∣ and ∣x(t − iτ) ∣ in (3.6) by formula (2.3). We obtain
Since t ∈ ((m − 1)τ, mτ), then ∣D∣m ⩽ exp((t/τ)ln∣ D∣). We have
and, by (3.4),
From (3.7), we get
Then, for any admissible m, inequality (3.8) with the term
omitted, yields
where
Inequality (3.5) is proved. The zero solution of (1.1) is C1 exponentially stable within the meaning of Definition 3 where η1=γ/2 and (1.7) holds. □
The following theorem on absolute stability of system (1.1) within the meaning of Definition 4 directly follows from Theorem 1 and Theorem 2.
Theorem 3
If the hypotheses of Theorems 1 and 2 hold, then the zero solution of the system (1.1) is absolutely stable.
4 Example
We will investigate system (1.1) where n=2, τ=1,
i.e., the system
with initial conditions (1.4). Set ς1=0.01, ς2=0.001, k=1, ν=0.1, β=0.01 and
Part of the below numerical computations was performed by MATLAB. For the eigenvalues of matrices G1, G2 and H, we get λmin(G1)ėq 0.1697, λmax(G1)ėq 0.5303, λmin(G2)=λmax(G2)=0.06, λmin(H)=0.24, λmax(H)=1.1. The matrix S takes the form
and λmin(S)≐ 0.00000407. Because all eigenvalues are positive, matrix S is positive definite. Further we have
Moreover
Because
we set γ ≔ γ ** in (3.4). Then M≐ 4.7233. All hypotheses of Theorem 1 and of Theorem 2 are satisfied and, consequently, the zero solution of (4.1), (4.2) is exponentially stable in the metric C0 and in the metric C1. Finally, from (2.3), (2.4) and (3.5), it follows that the inequalities
hold on [0, ∞) and on [0, ∞)∖{s, s=0, 1, ⋅} respectively. By Theorem 3, the zero solution of the system (4.1), (4.2) is absolutely stable.
Remark 1
System (4.1), (4.2) is considered in [5,38,44,56] with omitted nonlinearity (f ≡ 0), the same matrices A, D and with the matrix
where α is a constant. In [44] asymptotic stability is established for
5 Comments and Conclusions
The direct Lyapunov method is widely used for the stability analysis of functional differential systems. Its successful application substantially depends on an ingenious construction of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, suitable for the problem considered. As a rule, in the investigation of nonlinear neutral type control systems, functionals are used in the form of the sum of a quadratic form of terms on the right-hand side of the given system, a quadratic form of a “prehistory" and an integral of the nonlinearity. For example, in [27, 51], in the case of system (1.1), the following one is used:
where H and G are positive definite matrices, 𝜍 > 0 and 𝛽 > 0. However, applying functional (5.1) or any such functional type, does not result in an estimate of the norm ∣x(t)∣ of solutions, but rather in the integral norm ∥ x∥t, τ, ς. Many authors use method of functionals or other methods to state the fact of asymptotic stability only because their approach does not give an explicit estimate of the norm ∣x(t)∣ or
Let us discuss some specific properties of our approach. By an appropriate choice of the coefficient ν in the blocks S43 and S44 of the matrix S, in some cases, the positive definiteness of S can be achieved. Such a parameter is involved because of the sectorial condition (1.3) used in the proof (inequality (2.7)). The block-matrix S11 contains the expression −ATH−HA. By the well-known result on Lyapunov matrix equations, if system
In Theorem 2 we assumed ∣D∣=≠ 0. This is a quite natural assumption because if ∣D∣=0, then, by (1.5), all eigenvalues of the matrix DTD are zeroes. Consequently, D=Θ, where Θ is n × n zero matrix and (1.1) becomes a delayed rather than neutral system and can be investigated with a functional defined by (2.1) if the integral with kernel defined by the derivatives is omitted. In many investigations when neutral systems such as (1.1) are considered, assumption
It is an open question, whether a functional
