Stability analysis and observer design for one-sided Lipschitz descriptor systems with time-varying delay

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of stability analysis and observer design for nonlinear descriptor systems with time-varying delay. In the systems, the nonlinear function satisfies the one-sided Lipschitz condition and the quadratic internal boundary condition. The disturbance is considered in both the state and the output equation. Using one-sided Lipschitz condition, the quadratic internal boundary condition, and the generalized Lyapunov method, we establish the non-strict bilinear matrix inequality (BMI)-based condition. We change the condition into strict bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) condition. Furthermore, we give the linear matrix inequality-based condition to ensure the gradual convergence of state estimation error and to accomplish robustness against   L₂  norm bounded disturbances by utilizing change of variables for straight forward computation of the observer gain matrix. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the observer design scheme.
