Abstract

This paper focuses on the problems of robust stabilization and disturbance rejection for a class of positive systems with time-varying delays and actuator saturation. First, a convex hull representation is used to describe the saturation characteristics. By constructing an appropriate copositive type Lyapunov functional, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is positive and asymptotically stable at the origin of the state space with a domain of attraction. Then, the disturbance rejection performance analysis in the presence of actuator saturation is developed via -gain. The design method is also extended to investigate the problem of -gain analysis for uncertain positive systems with time-varying delays and actuator saturation. Finally, three examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

1. Introduction

Positive systems, whose states and outputs are nonnegative whenever the initial conditions and inputs are nonnegative, are of fundamental importance to multitudinous applications in areas such as economics, biology, sociology, and communications [1–4]. Recently, positive systems have been investigated by many researchers [5–10]. The linear copositive Lyapunov functional approach has been used to study the stability of positive systems due to the fact that it is less conservative than the traditional quadratic Lyapunov functional method [11]. It is well known that, in real engineering, time-delays are involved in many subjects and fields, such as mechanics, medicine, chemistry, physics, engineering, and control theory [12]. The existence of time-delay may lead to the deterioration of system performance and instability. Many results have been reported for time-delay systems [13–18], and a few results on positive systems with time-delay have appeared in [19–21].

On the other hand, in practice, the reaction to exogenous signals is not instantaneous, and the outputs will be inevitably affected. Because of the peculiar nonnegative property of positive systems, it is natural to evaluate the size of such systems via the -gain in terms of the ratio of input and output signals [19]. Some results on -gain analysis and control of positive systems have been reported in the literature [19, 22].

Recently, several works on positive systems have been done [12, 19, 23–28]. It should be pointed out that, in almost all available results on positive systems, it has been assumed that the actuator provides unlimited amplitude signal. However, actuator saturation is commonly unavoidable in almost all practical control systems because of the existence of physical, technological, or even safety constraints [29, 30]. Actuator saturation can lead to performance degradation of the closed-loop system; even more, it will make the additional stable closed-loop system unstable for large perturbations. Thus, more and more attention has been focused on the analysis and control synthesis for dynamic systems with actuator saturation for a long time and many methods have been developed to deal with actuator saturation [31–42]. To the best of our knowledge, few results on positive systems with actuator saturation have been proposed [43, 44]. In addition, because of the phenomena of actuator saturation nonlinearities and the peculiar nonnegative property of positive systems, the research of positive systems with actuator saturation becomes more difficult for both analysis and synthesis tasks.

In this paper, we focus our attention on the investigation of robust stabilization and disturbance rejection for a class of positive systems with time-varying delays and actuator saturation. The main contributions of this paper lie in three aspects. First, a convex hull representation is used to describe the saturation behavior, and a domain of attraction, which is different from the ellipsoid, is for the first time proposed for positive systems. Secondly, by constructing a copositive type Lyapunov functional, a state-feedback controller design scheme is developed to guarantee the stability with -gain performance of the resulting closed-loop systems. Thirdly, the proposed controller design method is further extended to the case of uncertain positive systems.

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the necessary definitions and lemmas are reviewed. In Section 3, sufficient conditions for the existence of -gain controller are presented. An extension of the obtained results to uncertain positive systems with time-varying delays and actuator saturation is given in Section 4. Three examples are provided to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method in Section 5. Concluding remarks are given in Section 6.

The aim of the paper is to determine the controller gain matrix such that the resulting closed-loop system (10) is positive and asymptotically stable with an -gain performance.

3. Main Results

3.1. Stability Analysis

In this section, we firstly consider the stability of the closed-loop system (10) with .

Theorem 6. Given a matrix , if there exist vectors , and a matrix , such that, for , then the closed-loop system (10) with is positive and asymptotically stable for any initial states satisfying where () is the th element of ().

Proof. For any , that is, for any satisfying , we have from (14) that , , that is, ; therefore, . When , system (10) can be written by the following representation:
By Lemma 3, it is easy to get from (11) that system (10) is positive. Choose the following copositive type Lyapunov functional candidate for system (10): where and , are positive vectors to be determined.
When , along the trajectory of system (10), we have, , It follows that Combining (12)–(14), we obtain Therefore, system (10) with is locally asymptotically stable.
Furthermore, it can be obtained from (17) that
Therefore, all the trajectories of that start from will remain inside of .
The proof is completed.

3.2. -Gain Analysis

The following theorem establishes a condition under which the closed-loop system (10) possesses positivity and has an -gain performance.

Theorem 7. Given positive constants , , and a matrix , if there exist , and a matrix , such that, for , (11), (13), and the following conditions hold, then the closed-loop system (10) is positive and asymptotically stable with an -gain performance level for any initial states satisfying (15).

Proof. By Lemma 3, it is easy to get from (11) that system (10) is positive. Choose the Lyapunov functional candidate (17). By Theorem 6, the stability of system (10) with is ensured if (13), (23)–(25) hold. To establish the -gain performance, we define Under zero initial condition, we have From (13), (23)–(25), we obtain Under zero initial condition, it gives rise to
Considering that , there exists a constant satisfying Then from (28) and (30) we can get It means that if , that is, , then and hence .
Therefore, system (10) has an -gain performance level , and all trajectories will remain inside of .
The proof is completed.

In what follows, we will give a method for the controller design based on Theorem 7.

From the definition of the Metzler matrix, (11) can be converted into where

Remark 8. It should be noted that both and are variables to be determined in Theorem 7, and we cannot directly compute by using the LMI (linear matrix inequality) method. In order to obtain , we introduce vectors satisfying , ; then (23) holds if the following inequality is satisfied:
Thus, we can firstly obtain , , and by solving (13), (24)-(25), and (34). Then from (32) and , , we can get .

Remark 9. There are several results on the stabilization of positive systems with time-varying delays [19, 22, 26]; however, the controllers proposed in these papers may fail to work when the actuator is subject to saturation. In this paper, the actuator saturation, which brings difficulties for the controller design, is taken into account, and the convex hull technique is used to deal with it. The controller proposed in Theorem 7 can guarantee the positivity and the -gain performance of the closed-loop system despite the existence of actuator saturation.

4. Extension to Uncertain Case

In this section, we will extend the results proposed in previous section to the following uncertain positive system: where is the state vector, is the controlled output vector, is the disturbance input which belongs to , is the initial condition on , , and denotes the time-varying delay satisfying (2).

and are uncertain matrices satisfying where , , , and are known constant matrices.

Lemma 10. If is a Metzler matrix and , , and , then system (35) is positive.

Proof. Because is a Metzler matrix and , , and , it is easy to obtain that is a Metzler matrix and ; then system (35) is positive.
The proof is completed.

Consider the following system with actuator saturation: where is the control input vector.

Similarly, the system (37) can be rewritten as the following closed-loop system:

By Lemma 10, should be Metzler matrices to ensure the positivity of system (38).

The following theorem gives sufficient conditions which ensure the positivity and -gain property of the closed-loop system (38).

Theorem 11. Given positive constants , , and a matrix , if there exist , and a matrix , such that, for , (24)-(25) and the following conditions hold, then the closed-loop system (38) is positive and asymptotically stable with an -gain performance level for any initial states satisfying (15).

Proof. By Theorem 7, it is easy to get from (14) and (39) that and system (38) is positive.
Choose the Lyapunov functional candidate (17). Along the trajectory of system (38), we have
When , we obtain
Therefore, system (38) with is locally asymptotically stable.
When , similar to the proof line of Theorem 7, the -gain performance can be obtained.
The proof is completed.

From the definition of the Metzler matrix, (39) can be converted into where

Remark 12. It should be noted that condition (40) is not expressed in the form of LMI. We can adopt the method proposed in Remark 8 to find the gain matrix ; that is to say, we can firstly get , , and by solving (13), (24)-(25), and Then from (44) and , , we can obtain the gain matrix .

5. Examples

Figure 2 plots the state responses of the closed-loop system. Figure 3 shows the control signals and . It is not hard to find that the feedback controller can guarantee the positivity and the asymptotical stability of the closed-loop system.

Example 2. Consider system (37) with the following parameters:

An appropriate copositive type Lyapunov functional is employed to ensure the stability and -gain performance of the positive systems. Both the existence conditions and the explicit characterization of the desired controller are derived in terms of LMIs. Finally, three examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the theoretical results.
