Delay‐dependent dissipativity analysis and synthesis of switched delay systems

In this paper, we study the problem of dissipative analysis for a class of switched systems with time‐varying delays. Sufficient conditions for dissipativity are developed for a class of switching signals with average dwell time. These conditions express delay‐dependent exponential stability and are provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that the derived results encompass some available results on ??_∞ approach and arbitrary switching case. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the developed results.
