| Abstract: | In this article, the problems of dissipativity analysis and dissipative control are investigated for positive switched linear systems in both continuous and discrete‐time domains. We aim at solving the problems via employing a multiple linear copositive storage function scheme. The solvability of the problems for individual subsystem is only on their active regions. Switching laws and a set of feedback controllers are jointly devised such that the associated closed‐loop switched systems are not only positive but also dissipative, which is from the exogenous input to the output. Asymptotic stability is derived if all subsystems are zero‐state detectable. Moreover, sufficient conditions guaranteeing dissipativity with positivity constraint are presented, which can be easily examined on the grounds of linear programming approach. Finally, an example is offered, illustrating that the proposed control strategy is successful. |
