Abstract

In this paper, a stabilisation problem for a class of large-scale systems with nonlinear interconnections is considered. All the uncertainties are nonlinear and are subject to the effects of time delay. A decentralised static output feedback variable structure control is synthesised and the stability of the corresponding closed-loop system is analysed based on the Lyapunov Razumikhin approach. A set of conditions is developed to guarantee that the large-scale interconnected system is stabilised uniformly asymptotically. Further study shows that the conservatism can be reduced by employing additive controllers if the known interconnections are separated into matched and mismatched parts. It is not required that the subsystems are square. The designed controller is independent of time delay and thus it does not require memory. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
