This paper investigates the problem of static anti-windup design for uncertain continuous-time Markovian jump systems with partially unknown transition rates in the face of actuator saturation. The underlying system is subject to time-varying and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and input matrices. It is assumed that a set of stabilizing dynamic output-feedback controllers have been designed for the system in the absence of control saturation. The objective is to design anti-windup compensation gains for the given controllers such that the system can still be stabilized, irrespective of whether actuator saturation appears or not. To obtain a maximum estimation of the domain of attraction of the resulting closed-loop system, a convex optimization problem in the linear matrix inequality framework is formulated. Furthermore, the results are extended to the cases of the systems with completely known transition rates and with completely unknown transition rates. Finally, the usefulness of the developed method is demonstrated through simulation examples. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper carries out a study on the design of anti-windup gains for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems subject to both actuator saturation and partially known transition probabilities. The parameter uncertainties appearing in both the state and input matrices are assumed to be time-varying and norm-bounded. Under the assumption that a set of linear dynamic output feedback controllers have been designed to stabilise the Markovian jump system in the absence of actuator saturation, anti-windup compensation gains are designed for maximising the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system with actuator saturation. Then, by solving a convex optimisation problem with constraints of a set of linear matrix inequalities, the anti-windup compensation gains are obtained. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the problem of reachable set estimation for a class of uncertain singular systems with time-varying delays from a new point of view. Our consideration is centered on the design of a proportional-derivative state feedback controller (PDSFC) such that the considered singular system is robustly normalizable and all the states of the closed-loop system can be contained by a bounded set under zero initial conditions. First, a nominal singular time-delay system is considered and sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of matrix inequalities for the existence of a PDSFC and an ellipsoid. In this case, the considered system is guaranteed to be normalizable and the reachable set of the closed-loop systems is contained by the ellipsoid. Then, the result is extended to the case of singular time-delay systems with polytopic uncertainties and relaxed conditions are derived by introducing some weighting matrix variables. Furthermore, based on the obtained results, the reachable set of the considered closed-loop singular system can be contained in a prescribed ellipsoid. Finally, the effectiveness of our results are demonstrated by two numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
