Admissibility analysis and control synthesis for switched linear singular systems

The problem of admissibility analysis and control synthesis of discrete-time switched linear singular （SLS） systems for arbitrary switching laws is solved. By using the switched Lyapunov function approach, some new sufficient conditions under which the SLS system is admissible for arbitrary switching laws are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Based on the admissibility results, control synthesis is then to design switched state feedback and static output feedback controllers, guaranteeing that the resulting closed-loop system is admissible. The presented results can be viewed as the extensions of previous works on switched Lyapunov function approach from the regular switched systems to singular switched cases. Examples are provided to demonstrate the reduced conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed conditions.

Observer-based robust H-infinity control for uncertain switched systems

The problem of observer-based robust H-infinity control is addressed for a class of linear discrete-time switched systems with time-varying norm-bounded uncertainties by using switched Lyapunov function method. None of the individual subsystems is assumed to be robustly H-infinity solvable. A novel switched Lypunov function matrix with diagonal-block form is devised to overcome the difficulties in designing switching laws. For robust H-infinity stability analysis, two linear-matrix-inequality-based sufficient conditions are derived by only using the smallest region function strategy if some parameters are preselected. Then, the robust H-infinity control synthesis is studied using a switching state feedback and an observer-based switching dynamical output feedback. All the switching laws are simultaneously constructively designed. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the validity of the results.

Stabilization of a class of discrete-time switched systems via observer-based output feedback

In this paper, observer-based static output feedback control problem for discrete-time uncertain switched systems is investigated under an arbitrary switching rule. The main method used in this note is combining switched Lyapunov function （SLF） method with Finsler＇s Lemma. Based on linear matrix inequality （LMI） a less conservative stability condition is established and this condition allows extra degree of freedom for stability analysis. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the result.

H-infinity filtering for discrete-time switched linear systems under arbitrary switching

This paper is concerned with the problem of H-infinity filtering for discrete-time switched linear systems under arbitrary switching laws.New sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are given via switched quadratic Lyapunov functions.Based on Finsler's lemma,two sets of slack variables with special structure are introduced to provide extra degrees of freedom in optimizing the guaranteed H-infinity performance.Compared to the existing methods,the proposed one has better performances and less conservatism.An example is given to illustrate its effectiveness.

L_2-gain Analysis and Anti-windup Design of Discretetime Switched Systems with Actuator Saturation

This paper investigates L2-gain analysis and anti-windup compensation gains design for a class of discrete-time switched systems with saturating actuators and L2 bounded disturbances by using the switched Lyapunov function approach.For a given set of anti-windup compensation gains,we firstly give a sufficient condition on tolerable disturbances under which the state trajectory starting from the origin will remain inside a bounded set for the corresponding closed-loop switched system subject to L2 bounded disturbances.Then,the upper bound on the restricted L2-gain is obtained over the set of tolerable disturbances.Furthermore,the antiwindup compensation gains aiming to determine the largest disturbance tolerance level and the smallest upper bound of the restricted L2-gain are presented by solving a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequality(LMI) constraints.A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Stability analysis and antiwindup design of uncertain discrete-time switched linear systems subject to actuator saturation

This paper investigates the stability analysis and antiwindup design problem for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems with time-varying norm-bounded uncertainties and saturating actuators by using the switched Lyapunov function approach. Supposing that a set of linear dynamic output controllers have been designed to stabilize the switched system without considering its input saturation, we design antiwindup compensation gains in order to enlarge the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system in the presence of saturation. Then, in terms of a sector condition, the antiwindup compensation gains which aim to maximize the estimation of domain of attraction of the closed-loop system are presented by solving a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequality （LMI） constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

New Delay-Dependent Stability of Uncertain Discrete-Time Switched Systems with Time-Varying Delays

This paper deals with the issues of robust stability for uncertain discrete-time switched systems with mode-dependent time delays.Based on a novel difference inequality and a switched Lyapunov function,new delay-dependent stability criteria are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） which are not contained in known literature.A numerical example is given to demonstrate that the proposed criteria improves some existing results significantly with much less computational effort.
