On feedback stabilization of linear switched systems via switching signal control
Motivated by recent applications in control theory, we study the feedback
stabilizability of switched systems, where one is allowed to chose the
switching signal as a function of in order to stabilize the system. We
propose new algorithms and analyze several mathematical features of the problem
which were unnoticed up to now, to our knowledge. We prove complexity results,
(in-)equivalence between various notions of stabilizability, existence of
Lyapunov functions, and provide a case study for a paradigmatic example
introduced by Stanford and Urbano.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
Necessary and sufficient condition for stabilizability of discrete-time linear switched systems: a set-theory approach
International audienceIn this paper, the stabilizability of discrete-time linear switched systems is considered. Several sufficient conditions for stabilizability are proposed in the literature, but no necessary and sufficient. The main contributions are the necessary and sufficient conditions for stabilizability based on set-theory and the characterization of a universal class of Lyapunov functions. An algorithm for computing the Lyapunov functions and a procedure to design the stabilizing switching control law are provided, based on such conditions. Moreover a sufficient condition for non-stabilizability for switched system is presented. Several academic examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed results. In particular, a Lyapunov function is obtained for a system for which the Lyapunov-Metzler condition for stabilizability does not hold
Robust stability and stabilization of discrete singular systems: An equivalent characterization
This note deals with the problems of robust stability and stabilization for uncertain discrete-time singular systems. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-invariant and norm-bounded appearing in both the state and input matrices. A new necessary and sufficient condition for a discrete-time singular system to be regular, causal and stable is proposed in terms of a strict linear matrix inequality (LMI). Based on this, the concepts of generalized quadratic stability and generalized quadratic stabilization for uncertain discrete-time singular systems are introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized quadratic stability and generalized quadratic stabilization are obtained in terms of a strict LMI and a set of matrix inequalities, respectively. With these conditions, the problems of robust stability and robust stabilization are solved. An explicit expression of a desired state feedback controller is also given, which involves no matrix decomposition. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.published_or_final_versio
Stability Analysis of Continuous-Time Switched Systems with a Random Switching Signal
This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of continuous-time
switched systems with a random switching signal. The switching signal manifests
its characteristics with that the dwell time in each subsystem consists of a
fixed part and a random part. The stochastic stability of such switched systems
is studied using a Lyapunov approach. A necessary and sufficient condition is
established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The effect of the random
switching signal on system stability is illustrated by a numerical example and
the results coincide with our intuition.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE-TA

Specifically, the stochastic bilinear jump system under study involves unknown state time-delay, parameter uncertainties, and unknown nonlinear deterministic disturbances. The jumping parameters considered here form a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process. The whole system may be regarded as a stochastic bilinear hybrid system that includes both time-evolving and event-driven mechanisms. Our attention is focused on the design of a robust state-feedback controller such that, for all admissible uncertainties as well as nonlinear disturbances, the closed-loop system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence of desired robust controllers, which are given in terms of the solutions to a set of either linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), or coupled quadratic matrix inequalities. The developed theory is illustrated by numerical simulatio
Delay-dependent robust stability of stochastic delay systems with Markovian switching
In recent years, stability of hybrid stochastic delay systems, one of the important issues in the study of stochastic systems, has received considerable attention. However, the existing results do not deal with the structure of the diffusion but estimate its upper bound, which induces conservatism. This paper studies delay-dependent robust stability of hybrid stochastic delay systems. A delay-dependent criterion for robust exponential stability of hybrid stochastic delay systems is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which exploits the structure of the diffusion. Numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method
New advances in H∞ control and filtering for nonlinear systems
The main objective of this special issue is to
summarise recent advances in H∞ control and filtering
for nonlinear systems, including time-delay, hybrid and
stochastic systems. The published papers provide new
ideas and approaches, clearly indicating the advances
made in problem statements, methodologies or applications
with respect to the existing results. The special
issue also includes papers focusing on advanced and
non-traditional methods and presenting considerable
novelties in theoretical background or experimental
setup. Some papers present applications to newly
emerging fields, such as network-based control and
estimation
Feedback stabilization of dynamical systems with switched delays
We analyze a classification of two main families of controllers that are of
interest when the feedback loop is subject to switching propagation delays due
to routing via a wireless multi-hop communication network. We show that we can
cast this problem as a subclass of classical switching systems, which is a
non-trivial generalization of classical LTI systems with timevarying delays. We
consider both cases where delay-dependent and delay independent controllers are
used, and show that both can be modeled as switching systems with unconstrained
switchings. We provide NP-hardness results for the stability verification
problem, and propose a general methodology for approximate stability analysis
with arbitrary precision. We finally give evidence that non-trivial design
problems arise for which new algorithmic methods are needed
