Robust Control for Uncertain Networked Control Systems with Random Delays addresses the problem
of analysis and design of networked control systems when the communication delays are varying
in a random fashion. The random nature of the time delays is typical for commercially used
networks such as a DeviceNet (which is a controller area network) and Ethernet network. The
main technique used in this book is based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin method which results in
delay-dependent controllers. The existence of such controllers and fault estimators are given
in terms of the solvability of bilinear matrix inequalities. Iterative algorithms are proposed
to change this non-convex problem into quasi-convex optimization problems which can be solved
effectively by available mathematical tools. Finally to demonstrate the effectiveness and
advantages of the proposed design method in the book numerical examples are given in each
designed control system.
