LMI-based H∞ synchronization of second-order neutral master-slave systems using delayed output feedback control

Abstract

The H∞ synchronization problem of the master and slave structure of a second-order neutral master-slave systems with time-varying delays is presented in this paper. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the design of a delayed output-feedback control are given by Lyapunov-Krasovskii method in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). A controller, which guarantees H∞ synchronization of the master and slave structure using some free weighting matrices, is then developed. A numerical example has been given to show the effectiveness of the method. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. © ICROS, KIEE and Springer 2009.
