Stability of Switched Positive Descriptor Systems with Average Dwell Time Switching

In this paper, the problems of stability for a class of switched positive descriptor systems(SPDSs)with average dwell time(ADT) switching are investigated. First, based on the equivalent switched system and the properties of the projector matrix, sufficient stabilities are given for the underlying systems in both continuoustime and discrete-time contexts. Then, a sufficient stability condition for the SPDS with both stable and unstable subsystems is obtained. The stability results for the SPDSs are represented in terms of a set of linear programmings(LPs) by the multiple linear co-positive Lyapunov function(MLCLF) approach. Finally, three numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.

Stabilization of switched linear systems under asynchronous switching subject to admissible edge-dependent average dwell time

The problem of stabilizing switched linear systems under asynchronous switching is addressed.The admissible edge-dependent average dwell time method is applied to design a switching signal that comprises slow admissible edge-dependent average dwell time and fast admissible edge-dependent average dwell time.Under this switching signal,the restriction that the maximum delay of asynchronous switching is known in advance is removed.The constructed Lyapunov function is associated with both the system mode and controller mode.The stabilization criteria and the corresponding algorithm are presented to obtain the controller gains and to design the switching signal.Finally,two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Robust exponential stability of uncertain discretetime impulsive switching systems with state delay

A new class of hybrid impulsive and switching models are introduced and their robust exponential stability and control synthesis are addressed. The proposed switched system is composed of stable subsystems and unstable subsystems, which not only involves state delay and norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties, but also contains the impulsive switching effects between the subsystems. Based on the extension of the system dimension and the concept of average dwell time, a kind of practically useful switching rule is presented which guarantees the desired robust exponential stability. A switched state feedback controller is also given.

H_-/H_∞ fault detection filter design for interval time-varying delays switched systems

The problem of the robust fault detection filter design for time-varying delays switched systems is considered in the framework of mixed H-/H∞. Firstly, the weighted H∞ performance index is utilized as the robustness performance, and the H- index is used as the sensitivity performance for obtaining the robust fault detection filter. Then a novel multiple Lyapunov-Krasovskii function is proposed for deriving sufficient existence conditions of the robust fault detection filter based on the average dwell time technique. By introducing slack matrix variable, the coupling between the Lyapunov matrix and system matrix is removed, and the conservatism of results is reduced. Based on the robust fault detection filter, residual is generated and evaluated for detecting faults. In addition, the results of this paper are dependent on time delays,and represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally,the simulation example verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper investigates the problem of event-triggered finite-time H∞ control for a class of switched stochastic systems. The main objective of this study is to design an event-triggered state feedback H∞ controller such that the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time bounded and satisfies a prescribed H∞ level in some given finite-time interval. Based on stochastic differential equations theory and average dwell time approach, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the finite-time stochastic stability with the prescribed H∞ performance for the relevant closed-loop system by employing the linear matrix inequality technique. Finally, the desired state feedback H∞ controller gain matrices can be expressed in an explicit form.

Considering packet losses, time-varying delay, and parameter uncertainty in the switched fuzzy system, this paper designs a robust fault detection filter at any switching rate and analyzes the H∞ performance of the system. Firstly, the Takagi-Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model is used to establish a global fuzzy model for the uncertain nonlinear time-delay switched system,and the packet loss process is modeled as a mathematical model satisfying Bernoulli distribution. Secondly, through the average dwell time method and multiple Lyapunov functions, the exponentially stable condition of the nonlinear network switched system is given. Finally, specific parameters of the robust fault detection filter can be obtained by solving linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation results.

Exponential stability of impulsive jump linear systems with Markov process

The exponential stability is investigated for a class of continuous time linear systems with a finite state Markov chain form process and the impulsive jump at switching moments. The conditions, based on the average dwell time and the ratio of expectation of the total time running on all unstable subsystems to the expectation of the total time running on all stable subsystems,assure the exponential stability with a desired stability degree of the system irrespective of the impact of impulsive jump. The uniformly bounded result is realized for the case in which switched system is subjected to the impulsive effect of the excitation signal at some switching moments.

Control synthesis of linear distributed parameter switched systems

The control synthesis for switched systems is extended to distributed parameter switched systems in Hilbert space. Based on semigroup and operator theory, by means of multiple Lyapunov method incorporated average dwell time approach, sufficient con- ditions are derived in terms of linear operator inequalities frame- work for distributed parameter switched systems. Being applied to one dimensional heat propagation switched systems, these lin- ear operator inequalities are reduced to linear matrix inequalities subsequently. In particular, the state feedback gain matrices and the switching law are designed, and the state decay estimate is explicitly given whose decay coefficient completely depends on the system＇s parameter and the boundary condition. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.
