Stability analysis with H∞ performance of production networks with autonomous work systems and time-varying delays

2011

Author's version of a chapter in the book: Proceeding of the 30th Chinese Control Conference. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6001452&tag=1 This paper considers the problem of stability analysis with an H ∞ performance for a class of production networks of autonomous work systems with delays in the capacity changes. The system under consideration shares information between work systems and the work systems adjust capacity with the objective of maintaining a desired amount of local work in progress. An appropriate Lyapunov function is utilized to establish some delay-range-dependent conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalitie…
