Stability analysis for discrete-time switched systems with unstable subsystems by a mode-dependent average dwell time approach.

This paper mainly intends to present new stability results of a discrete-time switched system with unstable subsystems. By adopting multiple Lyapunov functions׳ (MLFs׳) method, new and less conservative stability conditions are derived in terms of a set of numerical feasible linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) with mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) techniques. Different from previous literatures, unstable subsystems are considered under two situations in this paper. It is shown that the discrete-time switched system can achieve exponential stability under a slow switching scheme and even in the presence of fast switching of unstable subsystems. Finally a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Asynchronous control of discrete-time impulsive switched systems with mode-dependent average dwell time

This paper mainly studies the asynchronous control problem for a class of discrete-time impulsive switched systems, where asynchronous means the switching of the controllers has a lag to the switching of system modes. By using multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs), the much looser asymptotic stability result of closed-loop systems is derived with a mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) technique. Based on the stability result obtained, the problem of asynchronous control is solved under a proper switching law. Moreover, the stability and stabilization results are formulated in form of matrix inequalities that are numerically feasible. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the obtained stability results.

Exponential stability and robust H∞ control of a class of discrete-time switched non-linear systems with time-varying delays via T-S fuzzy model

This paper deals with stability and robust H∞ control of discrete-time switched non-linear systems with time-varying delays. The T-S fuzzy models are utilised to represent each sub-non-linear system. Thus, with two level functions, namely, crisp switching functions and local fuzzy weighting functions, we introduce a discrete-time switched fuzzy systems, which inherently contain the features of the switched hybrid systems and T-S fuzzy systems. Piecewise fuzzy weighting-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (PFLKFs) and average dwell-time approach are utilised in this paper for the exponentially stability analysis and controller design, and with free fuzzy weighting matrix scheme, switching control laws are obtained such that H∞ performance is satisfied. The conditions of stability and the control laws are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that are numerically feasible. The state decay estimate is explicitly given. A numerical example and the control of delayed single link robot arm with uncertain part are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Delay-segment-dependent robust stability for uncertain discrete stochastic Markovian jumping systems with interval time delay

This article deals with the problem of robust stochastic stability for a class of uncertain discrete stochastic Markovian jumping systems with time-varying interval delay. By constructing a parameter-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and checking its difference in two subintervals, respectively, some novel delay-segment-dependent stability criteria for the addressed system are derived. Two simulation examples are given to show effectiveness of the proposed method.

Asynchronous H∞ filtering for linear switched systems with average dwell time

This paper is concerned with the H∞ filtering problem for a class of continuous-time linear switched systems with the asynchronous behaviours, where ‘asynchronous’ means that the switching of the filters to be designed has a lag to the switching of the system modes. By using the Lyapunov-like functions and the average dwell time technique, a sufficient condition is obtained to guarantee the asymptotic stability with a weighted H∞ performance index for the filtering error system. Moreover, the results are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities that are numerical feasible. As a result, the filter design problem is solved. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the results.
