This paper deals with the controller synthesis for a class of positive two-dimensional (2D) switched delay systems described by the Roesser model. This kind of systems has the property that the states take nonnegative values whenever the initial boundaries are nonnegative, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of positive 2D switched systems with state delays are given. Furthermore, the design of positive state feedback controller under which the resulting closed-loop system meets the requirements of positivity and exponential stability is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). An example is included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

1. Introduction

Two-dimensional (2D) systems exist in many practical applications, such as circuit analysis, digital image processing, signal filtering and thermal power engineering [8,19,48]. Thus the analysis and synthesis of 2D systems are interesting and challenging problems, and have received considerable attention, for example, 2D state-space realization theory was researched in [14], the stability and 2D optimal control theory were studied in [7,12,17], and the H1filtering problem for 2D

Markovian jump systems was addressed in [42].

The most popular models of 2D linear systems were introduced by Roesser, Fornasini and Marchesini [14,15] and Kurek [27]. These models have been extended for positive systems in [20,21]. A positive system means that its states and outputs are nonnegative whenever the initial conditions and inputs are nonnegative [13,21]. Positive 2D systems are needed in many cases such as the wave equation in fluid dynamics, the Poisson’s equation, and the heat equation which describes the temperature (using thermodynamic temperature scale) in a given region over time. These facts stimulate the research on positive 2D discrete-time systems. The choice of the forms of Lyapunov functions for positive 2D Roesser model was inves-tigated in [23]. The problem of stability analysis for positive 2D fractional systems was invesinves-tigated in [24]. Furthermore, the reaction of real world systems to exogenous signals is never instantaneous and always infected by time delays [16,36–38]. The reachability, minimum energy control and realization problem for positive 2D discrete-time systems with delays was analyzed in [22]. And the stability analysis for positive 2D delayed systems was investigated in [3,25,26].

On the other hand, a considerable interest has been devoted to the research of switched systems during the recent decades. A switched system comprises a family of subsystems described by continuous or discrete-time dynamics, and a

(2)

switching law that specifies the active subsystem at each instant of time. Apart from the switching strategy to improve con-trol performance[10,35], switched systems also arise in many engineering applications[2,6]. Many techniques are effective tools dealing with switched systems, such as common quadratic Lyapunov function method, multiple Lyapunov function method, and average dwell time approach[1,9,28–33,39–41,49]. Recently,[34,45]studied the model reduction for linear switched systems, and[43,46]focused on the problems of stability and control synthesis by using sliding mode control method.

In addition, it is well known that the switching phenomenon may also occur in practical 2D systems, so 2D switched sys-tems have also attracted considerable research attention. There are a few reports on 2D discrete switched syssys-tems, Benza-ouia et al. firstly considered 2D switched systems with arbitrary switching sequences in [4] and investigated the stabilizability problem of 2D switched systems in[5], the generalized H2fault detection for 2D Markovian jump systems

was studied in[44]. Recently, the exponential stabilization of 2D switched Roesser model was firstly investigated in[47]. For positive 2D switched systems, a typical physical application is the thermal process with multiple modes. The positive value of temperature (using thermodynamic temperature scale) depends on position variable, time variable and the heating intensity (switching among multiple modes), so this system can be modeled as a positive 2D switched system. By using alge-braic techniques, sufficient and necessary conditions were first provided for the asymptotic stability of positive 2D switched systems described by the Roesser models in[11]. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been little literature con-sidering the control problem of positive 2D switched systems with time delays, which motivates the present work.

In this paper we will investigate the problems of delay-dependent stability analysis and stabilization for positive 2D switched linear systems with delays. The main contributions of this paper lie in: (1) By constructing an appropriate co-positive Lyapunov function, we first analyze the delay-dependent exponential stability of positive 2D switched Roesser model with state delays. (2) Instead of using algebraic techniques[11]which have been employed for the analysis of positive 2D switched systems, the average dwell time approach is applied to our developments which are based on LMIs. (3) Based on the well established results of exponential stability analysis, equivalent conditions in terms of LMIs are obtained for the existence of stabilizing positive state feedback controllers. A remarkable advantage of these conditions lies in the easy verification by using some standard numerical software.

The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Section2, problem statement and some definitions concerning the positive 2D switched discrete linear systems with delays are given. In Section 3, some results concerning the delay-dependent exponential stability and stabilization of positive 2D switched linear systems are presented. In Section4, a physical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Finally, concluding remarks are provided in Section5. The following notation will be used.

Notations: In this paper, the superscript ‘‘T’’ denotes the transpose. The notation X > Y(X P Y) means that matrix X  Y is positive definite (positive semi-definite, respectively). A  0(0) means that all entries of matrix A are nonnegative (non-positive). A  0(0) means that all entries of matrix A are positive (negative). Rnmdenotes the set of n  m real matrices. The set of real n  m matrices with nonnegative entries will be denoted by Rnm

þ and the set of nonnegative integers

will be denoted byZ+. Rnþdenotes the set of vectors with nonnegative entries. The n  n identity matrix will be denoted by In.

2. Problem formulation and preliminaries

Consider the following 2D switched Roesser model with state delays:

xhði þ 1; jÞ xvði; j þ 1Þ " # ¼ Arði;jÞ x hði; jÞ xvði; jÞ " # þ Ardði;jÞ xhði  d hðiÞ; jÞ xvði; j  dvðjÞÞ " # þ Brði;jÞuði; jÞ; ð1Þ

where i and j are integers in Z+, xh(i, j) is the horizontal state in Rn1; xvði; jÞ is the vertical state in Rn2; xði; jÞ is the whole state

in Rn.

r

(): Z

+ Z+?N = {1, 2, . . . , N} is the switching signal. N denotes the number of subsystems. Ak, Akdand B

k, k 2 N, are

constant matrices with appropriate dimensions and can be represented as

Ak¼ A k 11 A k 12 Ak21 A k 22 " # ; Akd¼ Akd11 A k d12 Akd21 A k d22 " # ; Bk¼ B k 1 Bk2 " # ;

dh(i) and dv(j) are delays along horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. We assume that dh(i) and dv(j) satisfy dhL6dhðiÞ 6 dhH; dvL6dvðjÞ 6 dvH;

where dhL, dhHand dvL, dvHdenote the lower and upper delay bounds along horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.

The boundary conditions are given by

xhði; jÞ ¼ h ij;

8

0 6 j 6 z1; dhH6i 6 0; xhði; jÞ ¼ 0;

8

j > z 1; dhH6i 6 0; xvði; jÞ ¼

v

ij;

8

0 6 i 6 z2; dvH6j 6 0; xvði; jÞ ¼ 0;

8

i > z 2; dvH6j 6 0; h00¼

v

00 ð2Þ

(3)

where z1< 1 and z2< 1 are positive integers, hij2 Rn1and

v

ij2 Rn2are given vectors.

In this paper, the switch can be assumed to occur only at each sampling points of i or j. The switching sequence can be described as

ðði0;j0Þ;

r

ði0;j0ÞÞ; ðði1;j1Þ;

r

ði1;j1ÞÞ; . . . ; ððip;jpÞ;

r

ðip;jpÞÞ; . . . ;

where (ip, jp) denotes the

p

-th switching instant. It should be noted that the value of

r

(i, j) only depends upon i + j (see the

references[5,47]).

Definition 1 [11]. System (1) is called a positive 2D switched model if xh(i, j)  0 and xv(i, j)  0 for any nonnegative

boundary conditions hij2 Rnþ1and

v

ij2 Rnþ2.

The following lemma is a direct extension from positive 2D systems in[21]to 2D switched positive systems.

Lemma 1 [21]. System(1)is positive if and only if Ak 0; Akd 0 and B k

 0.

Remark 1. When N = 1, positive 2D switched system(1)will degenerate into the following positive 2D system[26].

xhði þ 1; jÞ xvði; j þ 1Þ " # ¼ A x hði; jÞ xvði; jÞ " # þ Ad xhði  d hðiÞ; jÞ xvði; j  dvðjÞÞ " # þ Buði; jÞ: ð3Þ

Definition 2 [18]. System(1)with u(i, j) = 0 is said to be exponentially stable under the switching signal

r

(), if for a given z P 0, there exist positive constants c and n such that

X

iþj¼D

kxði; jÞk 6 necðDzÞX iþj¼z

kxði; jÞkC; ð4Þ

holds for all D P z, where

X iþj¼z kxði; jÞkC, sup dhH 6hh60; dvH6hv60 X iþj¼z

fkxði  hh;jÞk; kxði; j  hvÞk; kdhði  hh;jÞk; kdvði; j  hvÞkg;

dhði  hh;jÞ ¼ xhði  hhþ 1; jÞ  xhði  hh;jÞ;

dvði; j  hvÞ ¼ xvði; j  hvþ 1Þ  xvði; j  hvÞ:

Remark 2. From Definition 2, it is easy to see that, for a given z,Piþj¼zkxði; jÞkCwill be bounded, and

P

iþj¼Dkxði; jÞk will tend

to be zero exponentially as D goes to infinity, which also means kx(i, j)k will tend to be zero exponentially.

Definition 3. [47]. For any i + j = D P z = iz+ jz, let Nr(z, D) denote the switching number of

r

() on an interval [z, D). If

Nrðz; DÞ 6 N0þ

D  z

s

a

; ð5Þ

holds for given N0P0 and

s

aP0, then the constant

s

ais called the average dwell time and N0is the chatter bound. As

com-monly used in the literature, we choose N0= 0 in this paper.

Remark 3. Definition 3gives a definition of average dwell time for 2D switched discrete systems and the definition can be viewed as an extension of the proposed one in 1D (one-dimensional) switched systems. Similarly, if there exists a positive number

s

asuch that a switching signal has the average dwell time property, the average time interval between consecutive

switching is at least

s

a.

The aim of this paper is to design a state feedback controller for system(1)such that the resulting closed-loop system is positive and exponentially stable.

By Definition 2, we know that the positive 2D switched discrete system is exponentially stable if

com-pletes the proof. h

Remark 4. Note that when

l

= 1 in(7b), we have

s

a¼ 0, which means that the switching signal can be arbitrary.

Remark 5. It should be noted that a co-positive Lyapunov functional is constructed for the stability analysis in the derivation ofTheorem 1. The motivation for using this type of Lyapunov functional is that the state of system(1)is nonnegative and hence such a linear Lyapunov functional serves as a valid candidate. Compared with the existing stability result in[11], the one presented here is in the form of LMIs which can be conveniently verified. However, there exists the conservatism induced by Lyapunov functional(8)to some extent. The result can be improved by resorting to the delay-partition method for which a modified Lyapunov functional could be chosen.

3.2. Controller synthesis

This subsection studies the stabilization problem of positive 2D switched discrete Roesser model(1)for which the control law to be designed has the following state-feedback form

This control law will be designed to ensure the positivity and the exponential stability of the resulting closed-loop system:

The following lemma will be useful in the subsequent development.

Then the conditions in(36)can be easily obtained from(37)–(40). This completes the proof. h The procedure for constructing the desired controller is given below.

Step 4. The desired positive state feedback controller can be given as(34)with the obtained Kk, k 2 N.

Remark 6. The condition(36)inTheorem 2is given in terms of LMIs which are computationally tractable by using the LMI toolbox and it is different from the results presented in[11], where the algebraic method is utilized for the case without state delays. Also, this paper takes time delay into consideration firstly, which is universal in the application.

Remark 7. We would like to point out that the algorithm we proposed may bring some computational complexities. It can be seen that we need to solve N matrix inequalities to obtain 6N variables in(36).

Remark 8. Many practical complicated systems can be modeled by the addressed system in this paper, among which a typ-ical example is the thermal process under the standard measurement of absolute temperature. The features of positivity for state, switching for the control law, and complexity for multi-dimensional systems constitute a challenging problem in the control field. The co-positive type Lyapunov functional method and typical average dwell time method are merged together to solve this significant problem in this paper. The proposed LMI approach is easy to be extended to more complex applica-tions. The feasibility of the proposed method will be illustrated by the example given in the next section.

4. Example

In this section, we present an example to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Consider the thermal pro-cesses in chemical reactors with two modes, which can be expressed in the following partial differential equation with time delays. We assume that one can switch from a mode to another mode arbitrarily.

where T(x, t) is the temperature at x 2 [0, xf] (space) and t 2 [0, 1) (time), u(x, t) is the input function,

s

Denote xh(i, j) = T(i  1, j), xv(i, j) = T(i, j), where T(i, j) = T(iDx, jDt). It is easy to verify that Eq.(41)can be converted into a 2D

5. Conclusions

This paper has addressed the delay-dependent exponential stability analysis and stabilization for positive 2D switched delay systems described by the Roesser model. Sufficient conditions for the delay-dependent exponential stability of positive 2D switched linear systems with delays have been established. A co-positive type Lyapunov functional has been used to get a computationally tractable LMI-based sufficient criterion which ensures the exponential stability. A design methodology of positive feedback controller has been provided to ensure the exponential stability and positivity of the resulting closed-loop system. A numerical example has been given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Furthermore, future work will be devoted to the robust control problem to achieve the delay-dependent stability and the disturbance attenuation per-formance of positive 2D switched systems.
