A switched system approach to stabilization of networked control systems

A switched system approach is proposed to model networked control systems （NCSs） with communication constraints. This enables us to apply the rich theory of switched systems to analyzing such NCSs. Sufficient conditions are presented on the stabilization of NCSs. Stabilizing state/output feedback controllers can be constructed by using the feasible solutions of some linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. The merit of our proposed approach is that the behavior of the NCSs can be studied by considering switched system without augmenting the system. A simulation example is worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Control of switched systems with actuator saturation

Based on common Lyapunov function technique and multiple-Lyapunov function technique, two methods for designing state feedback controller are proposed respectively in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the switched systems with saturation. An approach on enlarging the attractive domain is then investigated, The application of the presented approach is illustrated finally by a numerical example.

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.

Guaranteed cost control with constructing switching law of uncertain discrete-time switched systems

A guaranteed cost control problem for a class of linear discrete-time switched systems with norm-bounded uncertainties is considered in this article. The purpose is to construct a switching rule and design a state feedback control law, such that, the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties under the constructed switching rule. A sufficient condition for the existence of guaranteed cost controllers and switching rules is derived based on the Lyapunov theory together with the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach. Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to select the suboptimal guaranteed cost controller. A numerical example demonstrates the validity of the proposed design approach.

Design and FPGA implementation of multi-wing chaotic switched systems based on a quadratic transformation

Based on a quadratic transformation and a switching function,a novel multi-wing chaotic switched system is proposed.First,a 4-wing chaotic system is constructed from a 2-wing chaotic system on the basis of a quadratic transformation.Then,a switching function is designed and by adjusting the switching function,the number and the distribution of the saddle-focus equilibrium points of the switched system can be regulated.Thus,a set of chaotic switched systems,which can produce 6-to-8-12-16-wing attractors,are generated.The Lyapunov exponent spectra,bifurcation diagrams,and Poincarémaps are given to verify the existence of the chaotic attractors.Besides,the digital circuit of the multi-wing chaotic switched system is designed by using the Verilog HDL fixed-point algorithm and the state machine control.Finally,the multi-wing chaotic attractors are demonstrated via FPGA platform.The experimental results show that the number of the wings of the chaotic attractors can be expanded more effectively with the combination of the quadratic transformation and the switching function methods.

Iterative Learning Control for a Class of Linear Continuous-time Switched Systems with Fixed Initial Shifts

This paper deals with the problem of iterative learning control for a class of linear continuous-time switched systems in the presence of a fixed initial shift. Here, the considered switched systems are operated during a finite time interval repetitively. According to the characteristics of the systems, a PD-type learning scheme is proposed for such switched systems with arbitrary switching rules, and the corresponding output limiting trajectories under the action of the PD-type learning scheme are given. Based on the contraction mapping method, it is shown that this scheme can guarantee the outputs of the systems converge uniformly to the output limiting trajectories of the systems over the whole time interval. Furthermore, the initial rectifying strategies are applied to the systems for eliminating the effect of the fixed initial shift. When the learning scheme is applied to the systems, the outputs of the systems can converge to the desired reference trajectories over a pre-specified interval. Finally, simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Distributed H2/H∞ Filter Design for Discrete-Time Switched Systems

This paper addresses an infinite horizon distributed H2/H∞ filtering for discrete-time systems under conditions of bounded power and white stochastic signals. The filter algorithm is designed by computing a pair of gains namely the estimator and the coupling. Herein, we implement a filter to estimate unknown parameters such that the closed-loop multi-sensor accomplishes the desired performances of the proposed H2 and H∞ schemes over a finite horizon. A switched strategy is implemented to switch between the states once the operation conditions have changed due to disturbances. It is shown that the stability of the overall filtering-error system with H2/H∞ performance can be established if a piecewise-quadratic Lyapunov function is properly constructed. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

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.

Global exponential stability of switched systems

This paper proposes a method for the stability analysis of deterministic switched systems.Two motivational examples are introduced （nonholonomic system and constrained pendulum）.The finite collection of models consists of nonlinear models,and a switching sequence is arbitrary.It is supposed that there is no jump in the state at switching instants,and there is no Zeno behavior,i.e.,there is a finite number of switches on every bounded interval.For the analysis of deterministic switched systems,the multiple Lyapunov functions are used,and the global exponential stability is proved.The exponentially stable equilibrium of systems is relevant for practice because such systems are robust to perturbations.

A notion of passivity for switched systems with state-dependent switching

A passivity concept for switched systems with state-dependent switching is presented. Each subsystem has a storage function to describe the ＂energy＂ stored in the subsystem. The passivity property of a switched system is given in terms of multiple storage functions. Each storage function is allowed to grow on the ＂switched on＂ time sequence but the total growth is bounded by a certain function. Stability is inferred from passivity and asymptotic stability is achieved under further assumptions of a detectivity property of a local form and boundedness of the total change of some storage function on its inactive intervals. A state-dependent switching law that renders the system passive is also designed.

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.

ADAPTIVE GENERALIZED PREDICTIVE CONTROL OFSWITCHED SYSTEMS

The problem of adaptive generalized predictive control which consists of output prediction errors for a class of switched systems is studied.The switching law is determined by the output predictive errors of a finite number of subsystems.For the single subsystem and multiple subsystems cases,it is proved that the given direct algorithm of generalized predictive control guarantees the global convergence of the system.This algorithm overcomes the inherent drawbacks of the slow convergence and large transient errors for the conventional adaptive control.

Discrete sliding mode prediction control of uncertain switched systems

The robust stabilization problem for a class of uncertain discrete-time switched systems is presented. A predictive sliding mode control strategy is proposed, and a discrete-time reaching law is improved. By applying a predictive sliding surface and a reference trajectory, combining with the state feedback correction and rolling optimization method in the predictive control strategy, a predictive sliding mode controller is synthesized, which guarantees the asymptotic stability for the closed-loop systems. The designed control strategy has stronger robustness and chattering reduction property to conquer with the system uncertainties. In addition, a unique nonswitched sliding surface is designed. The reason is to avoid the repetitive jump of the trajectories of the state components of the closed-loop system between sliding surfaces because it might cause the possible instability. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theory.

An LMI-based variable structure control for a classof uncertain singular Markov switched systems

An H-infinifty variable structure control is presented for singular Markov switched systems with mismatched norm-bounded uncertainties and mismatched norm-bounded external disturbances. It is shown that the sliding mode dynamics on the given switching surface is regular, impulse-free, and stochastically stable and satisfies H-infinity performance. A variable structure controller is designed to guarantee that the system trajectory converges to the linear switching surface in some finite time. Finally, a numerical example is solved to show the effectiveness and validness of the theoretical results.

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.

Stability of Delayed Switched Systems With State-Dependent Switching

This paper investigates the stability of switched systems with time-varying delay and all unstable subsystems. According to the stable convex combination, we design a state-dependent switching rule. By employing Wirtinger integral inequality and Leibniz-Newton formula, the stability results of nonlinear delayed switched systems whose nonlinear terms satisfy Lipschitz condition under the designed state-dependent switching rule are established for different assumptions on time delay. Moreover,some new stability results for linear delayed switched systems are also presented. The effectiveness of the proposed results is validated by three typical numerical examples.

Observer-based adaptive control of uncertain time-delay switched systems with stuck actuator faults

This paper concerns the observer-based adaptive control problem of uncertain time-delay switched systems with stuck actuator faults. Under the case where the original controller cannot stabilize the faulty system, multiple adaptive controllers are designed and a suitable switching logic is incorporated to ensure the closed-loop system stability and state tracking. New delay-independent sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities based on piecewise Lyapunov stability theory. On the other hand, adaptive laws for on-line updating of some of the controller parameters are also designed to compensate the effect of stuck failures. Finally, simulation results for reference [1] model show that the design is feasible and efficient.
