Stability and stabilization of switched stochastic systems under asynchronous switching

This paper studies the stability and stabilization problems for a class of switched stochastic systems under asynchronous switching. The asynchronous switching refers to that the switching of the candidate controllers does not coincide with the switching of system modes. Two situations are considered: (1) time-delayed switching situation, that is, the switching of the candidate controllers has a lag to the switching of the system modes; (2) mismatched switching situation, the switching of the candidate controllers does not match the switching of the system modes. Using average dwell time and Lyapunov-like function, sufficient conditions are established for stochastic input-to-state stability of the whole system. Also, the stabilizing controller design approach is proposed for switched stochastic linear systems. The minimal average dwell time and the controller gain are achieved. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the validity of the developed results.     

Finite-time quantised feedback asynchronously switched control of sampled-data switched linear systems

This paper studies the problem of stabilising a sampled-data switched linear system by quantised feedback asynchronously switched controllers. The idea of a quantised feedback asynchronously switched control strategy originates in earlier work reflecting actual system characteristic of switching and quantising, respectively. A quantised scheme is designed depending on switching time using dynamic quantiser. When sampling time, system switching time and controller switching time are all not uniform, the proposed switching controllers guarantee the system to be finite-time stable by a piecewise Lyapunov function and the average dwell-time method. Simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the developed results.

Asynchronous switching output feedback control of discrete-time switched linear systems

In this paper, the problem of dynamic output-feedback control synthesis is addressed for discrete-time switched linear systems under asynchronous switching. The proposed hybrid controller consists of a standard dynamic output-feedback switching control law and an impulsive reset law induced by controller state jumps. Using the average dwell time technique incorporating with multiple quadratic Lyapunov functions, the switching control synthesis conditions for asymptotic stability with guaranteed weighted ?₂-gain performance are derived as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed hybrid synthesis scheme advances existing design methods for output-feedback asynchronous switching control of switched linear systems in two important aspects: LMI formulation of the synthesis problem; and arbitrary order of the controller state. A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed design technique.

Positive stabilization for switched linear systems under asynchronous switching

This paper is concerned with the positive stabilization for a class of switched systems under asynchronous switching signals. Because it inevitably takes some time to identify the active subsystem in the real systems and activate the corresponding controller, the switching of controllers lags behind that of subsystems, which arises the problem of the asynchronous switching. By analyzing the solution of dynamic systems, the mode‐dependent controllers are designed to guarantee the positivity and exponential stability for the resultant closed‐loop switched linear systems under asynchronous switching signals in continuous‐time and discrete‐time cases, respectively. Sufficient conditions for the existence of admissible state‐feedback controllers are developed, and the corresponding switching signals are designed. Furthermore, a synchronous switching phenomenon is discussed as a special case. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

Robust resilient control for impulsive switched systems under asynchronous switching

The robust resilient control problem is addressed for a class of impulsive switched systems under asynchronous switching. Through constructing the piecewise Lyapunov function, a robust resilient controller is designed initially, which, for all admissible uncertainties, guarantees that the corresponding closed-loop system is exponentially stable under asynchronous switching signals. Here, the average dwell time method is utilized and the estimate of the trajectory is also presented. For the convenience of computation, all conditions are cast into the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical examples and simulation results are demonstrated to illustrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Stability analysis and control synthesis of switched impulsive systems

In this paper, we investigate the stability analysis problem of switched impulsive nonlinear systems and several stabilization problems of switched discrete‐time linear systems are studied. First, sufficient conditions ensuring globally uniformly asymptotically stability of switched nonlinear impulsive system under arbitrary and DDT (dynamical dwell time which defines the length of the time interval between two successive switchings) switching are derived, respectively. In the DDT switching case, we first consider the switched system composed by stable subsystems, then we extend the results to the case where not all subsystems are stable. The stabilizations of switched discrete‐time linear system under arbitrary switching, DDT switching and asynchronous switching are investigated respectively. Based on the stability analysis results, the control synthesis consists of controller design for each subsystem and state impulsive jumping generators design at switching instant. With the aid of the state impulsive jumping generators at switching instant, the ‘energy’ produced by switching can be minimized, which leads to less conservative results. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed results within this paper. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fault detection for switched nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching

Asynchronous switching between switched system and associated filter or controller frequently occurs in several applications. In this article, the fault detection problem for a class of switched nonlinear systems with asynchronous switching is addressed. To model the switched system behaviour under asynchronous switching, two working modes are adopted to facilitate the studies on the issue. Then, based on average dwell time approach, a fault detection filter is developed via solving LMIs. Furthermore, it is proved that the fault detection problem under synchronous switching is only a particular case of our results for asynchronous switching. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed results.
