Error reachable set based stabilization of switched linear systems with bounded peak disturbances

This paper investigates the error reachable set based stabilization problem for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems with bounded peak disturbances under persistent dwell-time(PDT)constraint.A double-clockdependent control scheme is presented that can split the disturbed switched system into a nominal system and an error system,and assign to each system a controller scheduled by a clock.A necessary and sufficient convex stability criterion is presented for the nominal system,and is further extended to the stabilization controller design with a nominal clock.In the presence of bounded peak disturbances,another stabilization controller with an error clock is developed for the error system,with the purpose of‘‘minimizing’’the reachable set of the error system by the ellipsoidal techniques.It is demonstrated that the disturbed system is also globally exponentially stable in the sense of converging to an over approximation of the reachable set of the error system,i.e.,a union of a family of bounding ellipsoids,that can also be regarded as the cross section of a tube containing the trajectories of the disturbed system.Two numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the developed results.

Stability analysis for a second-order continuous finite-time control system subject to a disturbance

In this paper, using finite-time control method, we consider the disturbance analysis of a second-order system with unknown but bounded disturbance. We show that the states of the second-order system will be stabilized to a region containing the origin. The radius of this region is determined by the control parameters and can be rendered as small as desired. The rigorous stability analysis is also given. Compared with the conventional PD control law, the finite-time control law yields a better disturbance rejection performance. Numerical simulation results show the effectiveness of the 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.
