Further Stability Analysis on Neutral Systems with Actuator Saturation and Time-Delays by Xinghua Liu

“…Then the delay-dependent conditions for asymptotic stability are derived by applying some integral inequalities and Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show that the proposed results significantly improve the allowed upper bounds of the delay size over some existing ones in the literature.…”

Integrated Sensor Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant Control for Manipulator by Bowen Hong, Lina Yao, Zhiwei Gao

“…Any constant fault or time-varying fault can be estimated by the fault diagnosis scheme based on the adaptive observer rapidly and accurately, and the designed parameters can be solved by the linear matrix inequality. Using the fault estimation information, a fault-tolerant controller combining the characteristics of the proportional differentiation control and the sliding model control is designed to trace the expected trajectory via the back-stepping method. …”
