Absolute stability and stabilization for Lurie networked control systems

This paper investigates the problem of absolute stability and stabilization for networked control systems (NCSs) with the controlled plant being Lurie systems (Lurie NCSs), in which the network‐induced delays are assumed to be time‐varying and bounded. By considering the relationship between the network‐induced delay and its upper bound, an improved stability criterion for networked control system is proposed. Furthermore, the resulting condition is extended to design a state feedback controller by employing an improved cone complementary linearization (ICCL) algorithm. A numerical example is worked out to illustrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method.
