Design of robust fault-tolerant output feedback controller for a class of networked control systems considering a new actuator faults model

This paper aims to present a novel and comprehensive model for actuator faults to address the problem of robust fault-tolerant controller design for networked control systems (NCSs) in the presence of phenomena such as random delays, model uncertainties, and actuator faults. For this purpose, firstly, the NCS has been appropriately modeled as discrete-time Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with partly-unknown transition probabilities. Then, the problem of mode-dependent static output feedback controller design has been studied not only as a convex optimization problem but also in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Notably, the designed controller guaranteesthe stochastic stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of actuator faults and uncertainties. Finally, through numerical simulations, the theoretical results of this study are proved, and it has been shown that this method is more efficient and superior than other methods.
