AbstractThe problem of input-to-state stability (ISS) and its integral version (iISS) are considered for switched nonlinear systems with inputs, resets and possibly unstable subsystems. For the dissipation inequalities associated with the Lyapunov function of each subsystem, it is assumed that the supply functions, which characterize the decay rate and ISS/iISS gains of the subsystems, are nonlinear. The change in the value of Lyapunov functions at switching instants is described by a sum of growth and gain functions, which are also nonlinear. Using the notion of average dwell-time (ADT) to limit the number of switching instants on an interval, and the notion of average activation time (AAT) to limit the activation time for unstable systems, a formula relating ADT and AAT is derived to guarantee ISS/iISS of the switched system. Case studies of switched systems with saturating dynamics and switched bilinear systems are included for illustration of the results.

Abstract This article addresses stability of fractional switched systems (FSSs) with stable and unstable subsystems. First, several algebraic conditions are presented to guarantee asymptotic stability by applying multiple Lyapunov function (MLF) method, dwell time technique and fast-slow switching mechanism. Then, some stability conditions which have less conservation are also provided by utilizing average dwell time (ADT) technique and the property of Mittag-Leffler function. In addition, sufficient conditions on asymptotic stability of delayed FSSs are obtained by virtue of fractional Razumikhin technique. Finally, several examples are given to reveal that the conclusions obtained are valid.

This paper investigates the stability of switched nonlinear (SN) systems in two cases: (1) all subsystems are globally asymptotically stable (GAS), and (2) both GAS subsystems and unstable subsystems coexist, and it proposes a number of new results on the stability analysis. Firstly, an improved average dwell time (ADT) method is presented for the stability of such switched system by extending our previous dwell time method. In particular, an improved mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) method for the switched systems whose subsystems are quadratically stable (QS) is also obtained. Secondly, based on the improved ADT and MDADT methods, several new results to the stability analysis are obtained. It should be pointed out that the obtained results have two advantages over the existing ones; one is that the improved ADT method simplifies the conditions of the existing ADT method, the other is that the obtained lower bound of ADT (τa*) is also smaller than that obtained by other methods. Finally, illustrative examples are given to show the correctness and the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

This paper deals with the robust stability of a class of uncertain switched systems with possibly unstable linear subsystems. In particular, conditions for global uniform exponential stability are presented. In addition, a procedure to design a mode dependent average dwell time switching signal that stabilizes a switched linear system composed of diagonalizable subsystems is established, even if all of them are stable/unstable and time-varying (within design bounds). An illustrative example of the stabilizing switching law design and numerical results are presented.
