Resilient control of non-linear discrete-time state-delay systems

A class of non-linear discrete-time systems with state-delay is considered. We develop an LMI-based analysis and design procedures to check primarily into the robust stability of discrete-time systems with state-delay and bounded non-linearities. Then we address the robust stabilization using nominal and resilient feedback designs. In both cases the trade-off between the size of the controller gains and the bounding factors is illuminated and incorporated into the design formalism. Seeking computational convenience, all the developed results are cast in the format of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and several numerical examples are presented throughout the paper to illustrate the feasibility of the theoretical developments.
