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.     

Uniform stability of switched nonlinear systems

In this paper, we investigate the stability properties of a general class of nonautonomous switched nonlinear systems. Sufficient conditions for uniform stability, uniform asymptotic stability and uniform exponential stability are derived via multiple Lyapunov functions. Our results provide stability criteria for switched systems with both stable and unstable subsystems. Particularly, our results include some existing results as special cases or improve those in the literature. Several numerical examples are worked out to illustrate our results.     

On stability for switched linear positive systems

This paper addresses the stability properties of switched linear positive systems in continuous-time as well as in discrete-time. In the discrete-time case, some sufficient and necessary conditions for asymptotic stability are derived for pairs of second order systems. Similar conditions are also established for a finite number of second order systems. Furthermore, for higher order systems, some results on stability are provided in a similar manner. In particular, in this case, a common linear Lyapunov function guaranteeing the stability of the switched positive systems can be easily located by means of geometry properties. In the continuous-time case, a finite number of second order systems are considered. Some equivalent conditions for stability of such systems are developed.     

On stability of linear and weakly nonlinear switched systems with time delay

This paper studies time-delayed switched systems that include both stable and unstable modes. By using multiple Lyapunov-functions technique and a dwell-time approach, several criteria on exponential stability for both linear and nonlinear systems are established. It is shown that by suitably controlling the switching between the stable and unstable modes, exponential stabilization of the switched system can be achieved. Some examples and numerical simulations are provided to illustrate our results.

Stabilization for switched nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper investigates the problem of stabilization for a class of switched nonlinear systems with time-delay. Based on the differential mean value theorem (DMVT), the switched nonlinear systems are transformed into switched linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. By using multiple Lyapunov function approach and convexity principle, and via observer-based output feedback, a sufficient condition for the stabilization of the original system is proposed, which has been expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Further, the control method is extended to a class of switched nonlinear systems with norm-bounded uncertainties. A new sufficient condition is proposed, which guarantees the class of uncertain switched systems, is asymptotically stabilizable. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Robust exponential stability of impulsive switched systems with switching delays: A Razumikhin approach

In this paper, we focus on the robust exponential stability of a class of uncertain nonlinear impulsive switched systems with switching delays. We introduce a novel type of piecewise Lyapunov-Razumikhin functions. Such functions can efficiently eliminate the impulsive and switching jump of adjacent Lyapunov functions at impulsive switching instants. By Razumikhin technique, the delay-independent criteria of exponential stability are established on the minimum dwell time. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.     

A LMI approach to stability analysis and synthesis of impulsive switched systems with time delays

This paper studies the asymptotic stability problem for a class of impulsive switched systems with time invariant delays based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Some sufficient conditions, which are independent of time delays and impulsive switching intervals, for ensuring asymptotical stability of these systems are derived by using a Lyapunov–Krasovskii technique. Moreover, some appropriate feedback controllers, which can stabilize the closed-loop systems, are constructed. Illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the results obtained.

Strict practical stability of nonlinear impulsive systems by employing two Lyapunov-like functions

This paper develops the concepts of strict practical stability of ordinary differential equations to impulsive differential system. Strict practical stability, known as stability in tube-like domain, can be made to estimate upper bound and lower bound of the solutions of impulsive differential equations. This note provides several stability criteria for strict practical stability of nonlinear dynamical systems with impulse effects by employing two Lyapunov-like functions under general restrictions. It may provide a greater prospect to solve problems which exhibit impulsive effects.

In this paper, a new stability analysis of switched impulsive systems with time delays whose subsystem is not necessarily stable is presented. A sufficient condition on uniformly asymptotical stability for nonlinear switched impulsive systems is obtained. Using the result obtained and the minimum (maximum) holding time, an easily verifiable condition on uniformly asymptotical stability for linear switched impulsive systems with time delays is derived. The control synthesis is also discussed. Finally, two examples with simulation results are given to validate the results.

Exponential stability analysis for neutral switched systems with interval time-varying mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations

This paper is concerned with the problem of exponential stability for uncertain neutral switched systems with interval time-varying mixed delays and nonlinear perturbations. By using the average dwell time approach and the piecewise Lyapunov functional technique, some sufficient conditions are first proposed in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to guarantee the robustly exponential stability for the uncertain neutral switched systems, where the decay estimate is explicitly given to quantify the convergence rate. Three numerical examples are finally illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Switching signal design for global exponential stability of uncertain switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delay

The switching signal (switching law) design for robust global exponential stability of switched nonlinear systems is investigated in this paper. LMI-based delay-dependent criteria are proposed to design the switching signal and guarantee the global exponential stability. Free weighting matrix and additional nonnegative inequality approaches are used in this paper to find the less conservative stability results. Finally, some numerical examples are illustrated to show the main improvement.     

A geometric approach for reachability and observability of linear switched impulsive systems

This paper is concerned with the reachability and observability of linear switched impulsive systems with singular impulse matrices. First some new concepts with respect to the reachability and unobservability are introduced. Especially, span reachability is proposed because the reachable sets of switched impulsive systems do not always constitute subspaces. Then the geometric characterization of the span reachable and unobservable sets is presented. Moreover, the relations between the span reachable set, unobservable set and the invariant subspaces of such systems are discussed. Finally, corresponding criteria applied to linear impulsive systems and linear switched systems are also discussed.
