H∞ control for time-delay systems with randomly occurring nonlinearities subject to sensor saturations, missing measurements and channel fadings

The H∞ control problem for a class of time-delay systems with randomly occurring nonlinearities (RONs) is addressed in this paper. Sensor saturations, missing measurements and channel fadings are governed by random variables obeying the Bernoulli distributions. The measurement output is subject to both data missing and randomly occurring sensor saturations (ROSSs) described by sector-nonlinearities as well as the channel fadings caused typically in wireless communication. The aim of the addressed problem is to design a full-order dynamic output-feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is exponentially mean-square stable and satisfies the prescribed H∞ performance constraint. Sufficient conditions are presented by resorting to intensive stochastic analysis and matrix inequality techniques, which not only guarantee the existence of the desired controller for all possible time-delays, RONs, missing measurements and ROSSs but also lead to the explicit expressions of such controllers. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme.
