Stabilization for a class of second-order switched systems

This paper considers the asymptotic stabilization problem of second-order linear time-invariant (LTI) autonomous switched systems consisting of two subsystems with unstable focus equilibrium. More precisely, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the origin to be asymptotically stable under the predesigned switching law. The result is obtained without looking for a common Lyapunov function or multiple Lyapunov function, but studying the locus in which the two subsystem's vector fields are parallel. Then the “most stabilizing” switching laws are designed which have translated the switched system into a piecewise linear system. Two numerical examples are presented to show the potential of the proposed techniques.     

Adaptive tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems under a new state-dependent switching law

This paper deals with the problem of adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems. Fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and the adaptive backstepping and dynamic surface control techniques are adopted. First, a new state-dependent switching method is proposed. By introducing convex combination technique and designing a state-dependent switching law, only the solvability of the adaptive tracking control problem for a convex combination of the subsystems is necessary. Second, a new common Lyapunov function with switched adaptive parameters is constructed to reduce the conservatism. Third, to avoid Zeno behavior, a modified state-dependent switching law with dwell time is proposed. It is shown that under the proposed control and switching laws, all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and all the state tracking errors can converge to a priori accuracy, even if some subsystems are uncontrollable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through two simulation examples.

Stability of switched systems with time delay

In this paper, we study the qualitative properties of linear and nonlinear delay switched systems which have stable and unstable subsystems. First, we prove some inequalities which lead to the switching laws that guarantee: (a) the global exponential stability to linear switched delay systems with stable and unstable subsystems; (b) the local exponential stability of nonlinear switched delay systems with stable and unstable subsystems. In addition, these switching laws indicate that if the total activation time ratio among the stable subsystems, unstable subsystems and time delay is larger than a certain number, the switched systems are exponentially stable for any switching signals under these laws. Some examples are given to illustrate the main results.     

Periodical stabilization of switched linear systems

Periodical stabilization problems for switched linear systems are investigated in this paper. For autonomous switched systems, if there exists a stable convex combination of the subsystems, then a periodically switching signal can be constructed such that the overall system is asymptotically stable. Based on this fact, for switched control systems, corresponding sufficient conditions are presented under which constant/switching direct/observer-based state feedback controller can be designed such that the corresponding closed-loop systems are asymptotically stable under some periodically switching signal. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate our results.     

A Switching Law to Stabilize an Unstable Switched Linear System

Stabilization of switched systems fully composed of unstable modes is of theoretical and practical significance. In this paper, we obtain some sufficient algebraic conditions for stabilizing switched linear systems with all unstable subsystems based on the theory of spherical covering and crystal point groups. Under the proposed algebraic conditions switching laws are easy to be designed to stabilize the switched systems. Some simple examples are provided to illustrate our results.     

On stability of switched homogeneous nonlinear systems

In this paper, the problem of stability of switched homogeneous systems is addressed. First of all, if there is a quadratic Lyapunov function such that nonlinear homogeneous systems are asymptotically stable, a matrix Lyapunov-like equation is obtained for a stable nonlinear homogeneous system using semi-tensor product of matrices, and Lyapunov equation of linear system is just its particular case. Following the previous results, a sufficient condition is obtained for stability of switched nonlinear homogeneous systems, and a switching law is designed by partition of state space. In particular, a constructive approach is provided to avoid chattering phenomena which is caused by the switching rule. Then for planar switched homogeneous systems, an LMI approach to stability of planar switched homogeneous systems is presented. Similar to the condition for linear systems, the LMI-type condition is easily verifiable. An example is given to illustrate that candidate common Lyapunov function is a key point for design of switching law.

Event-triggered feedback stabilization of switched linear systems using dynamic quantized input

This paper is concerned with the co-design of event-triggered sampling, dynamic input quantization and constrained switching for a switched linear system. The mismatch between the plant and its corresponding controller is considered. This behavior is raised by switching within the event-triggered sampling interval. Accordingly, novel update laws of dynamic quantization parameter are designed separately for matched sampling intervals (without switching) and mismatched sampling intervals (with a switch). We technically transform the total variation (increment or decrement) of Lyapunov functions in one sampling interval into the discrete-time update of quantization parameter. Based on this transformation, a hybrid quantized control policy is developed. This policy, in conjunction with the average dwell-time switching law and the constructed event-triggered condition, can ensure the exponential stabilization of the switched system with finite-level quantized input. Besides, the event-triggered scheme is proved to be Zeno-free. The effectiveness of the developed method is verified by a simulation example.     

Sampled-data control of uncertain switched neutral nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching

The robust exponential stabilization for a class of the uncertain switched neutral nonlinear systems with time-varying delays based on the sampled-data control is investigated in this paper. The closed-loop system with sampled-data control is modeled as a continuous time system with a time-varying piecewise continuous control input delay. Considering the relationship between the sampling period and the dwell time of two switching instants, sampling interval with no switching and sampling interval with one switching are discussed, respectively. By Wirtinger-based inequality, Wirtinger-based double integral inequality, and free-weighting matrix technique, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the exponential stability of uncertain switched neutral nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching. In addition, sampled-data controllers can also be designed by special operations of matrices. Finally, two numerical examples are used to show the effectiveness of the approach proposed in this paper.     

Stability analysis and uniform ultimate boundedness control synthesis for a class of nonlinear switched difference systems

In this paper, we deal with stability analysis of a class of nonlinear switched discrete-time systems. Systems of the class appear in numerical simulation of continuous-time switched systems. Some linear matrix inequality type stability conditions, based on the common Lyapunov function approach, are obtained. It is shown that under these conditions the system remains stable for any switching law. The obtained results are applied to the analysis of dynamics of a discrete-time switched population model. Finally, a continuous state feedback control is proposed that guarantees the uniform ultimate boundedness of switched systems with uncertain nonlinearity and parameters.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stabilizability of switched systems on non-uniform time domains

In this paper, we consider the quadratic stabilizability via state feedback for a particular class of switched systems that evolve on a non-uniform time domain by introducing time scales theory. The system considered switches between a continuous-time subsystem with variable lengths and a discrete-time subsystem with variable discrete step sizes. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the quadratic stability of this class of switched systems via a switching state feedback law based on the existence of a common positive definite matrix satisfying the quadratic stabilizability condition by considering that the two subsystems are unstable. By state feedback, we mean that the switching among subsystems depends on the system states. Current results for this kind of state switching feedback control are derived only for switched systems evolving on a continuous time domain or a discrete time domain with fixed step’s size. These results are not applicable for the particular class of switched systems where there is a mixing between the continuous and discrete dynamics. This motivates the derivation of a new and more general state feedback control law for switched systems in this work. A numerical example illustrating the results is presented.     

Commuting and stable feedback design for switched linear systems

In the paper, commuting and stable feedback design for switched linear systems is investigated. This problem is formulated as to build up suitable state feedback controller for each subsystem such that the closed-loop systems are not only asymptotically stable but also commuting each other. A new concept, common admissible eigenvector set (CAES), is introduced to establish necessary/sufficient conditions for commuting and stable feedback controllers. For second-order systems, a necessary and sufficient condition is established. Moreover, a parametrization of the CAES is also obtained. The motivation comes from stabilization of switched linear systems which consist of a family of LTI systems and a switching law specifying the switching between them, where if all the subsystems are stable and commuting each other, then the total system is stable under arbitrary switching.     

Stability analysis of impulsive delayed switched systems and applications

In this paper, a general class of impulsive delayed switched systems is considered. By employing the Lyapunov–Razumikhin method and some analysis techniques, we established several global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability criteria for the considered impulsive delayed switched systems, which improve and extend some recent works. As an application, the result of global exponential stability are used to study a class of uncertain linear switched systems with time‐varying delays. Several LMI‐based conditions are proposed to guarantee the global robust stability and global exponential stabilization. The designed memoryless state feedback controller can be easily checked by the LMI toolbox in Matlab. Moreover, the dwell time constraint is imposed for the switching law. Finally, two numerical examples and their simulations are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed results. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stability of complex-valued impulsive and switching system and application to the Lü system

In this paper, the stability of complex-valued impulsive and switching system is addressed. By using switched Lyapunov functions on a complex field, some new stability criteria of complex-valued impulsive and switching systems are established, which not only generalize some known results in the literature, but also greatly reduce the complexity of analysis and computation. As an application, a new hybrid impulsive and switching feedback controller for the complex-valued chaotic Lü system is designed.     

Stabilization of switched linear systems using an improved event-triggered control scheme

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered control of switched linear systems. The coupling of system switching and event-triggered communication raises two phenomena: (1) the update of controller cannot always catch up with the active subsystem; (2) the switching may lead to additional triggers. The first phenomenon is called the asynchronous switching induced by network communication and the second one brings great difficulty to avoid the Zeno behavior of event-triggered mechanism (ETM). To address the above problem, we propose a new ETM which contains the switching signal of models and controllers and the discontinuity of triggering error at switching time instants. A relative threshold strategy, combined with a jump function, is designed as a new threshold function. By introducing a compensation term, the linear feedback control law is extended to avoid the Zeno behavior of ETM and improve the solvability of control algorithm. Based on the proposed event-triggered control scheme, the exponential stabilization of switched systems is achieved with relaxed constraints on the triggering and switching conditions. The obtained results are validated by a numerical example.
