In this thesis, three main topics of stability problem for discrete uncertain multiple time-delay systems are investigated; i.e. the optimal D-stable control for discrete multiple time- delay systems with parametric uncertainties, the robust Kalman filter synthesis of uncertain multiple time-delay stochastic systems and the discrete LQG (linear-quadratic Gaussian) optimal control of uncertain multiple time-delay stochastic systems. The problem of optimal D-stability for discrete multiple time-delay systems with parametric uncertainties is considered in the first part of the thesis (Chapter 2). By properly defining new state variables, a discrete uncertain multiple time-delay system can be transformed into another system with no delay. Thus, the problem of optimization of discrete-time systems with multiple time delays is reduced to a standard discrete linear quadratic regulator problem. Based on the technique of D-pole placement, a robust criterion of D-stability is derived to show that the optimal control law not only minimizes the discrete linear quadratic performance index but also meanwhile guarantees that all poles of the closed-loop system remain inside the specified disk D(α,r) in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The robust Kalman filter synthesis and discrete LQG optimal control of uncertain multiple time-delay stochastic systems are considered in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, respectively. In these two chapters, minimax theory and Bellman-Gronwall lemma are employed, based on the upper norm-bounds of parametric uncertainties and noise uncertainties, a robust criterion is derived to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the uncertain stochastic system. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate our main results.
