Abstract
Summary
ThisIn the system under investigation, the control input is subject to the saturation constraint, and both discrete and distributed time‐delays are taken into consideration. The objective of the addressed problem is to design a state feedback controller such that the resulting closed‐loop system is asymptotically stable in probability and an upper bound is guaranteed on a prespecified quadratic cost function. Sufficient conditions are established for the existence of the desired guaranteed cost control strategy in terms of the solvability of certain Hamilton–Jacobi inequalities. Simulation results demonstrate the correctness and applicability of the proposed control scheme. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
