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.

In this paper, the H∞ control problem for linear state-constrained switched systems via the improved mode-dependent average dwell time method is investigated. Using this proposed method, which considers different decay rates of a Lyapunov function related to an active subsystem on the basis of whether there is saturation or not, the resulting minimum admissible mode-dependent average dwell time is smaller than that of the traditional average dwell time method, which assumes a constant decay rate, regardless of whether there is saturation or not. Thus, this method is less conservative than the traditional average dwell time method. In addition, this paper outlines the design of the state feedback controller of the switched systems, which guarantees that the closed-loop linear state-constrained switched system is globally asymptotically stable and obtains a weighted L2 gain. The availability and applicability of the proposed method are shown by the application of a boost converter.

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.

The stability and the stabilization problems for a class of continuous-time switched systems with state constraints via a mode-dependent switching method are investigated. The paper presents an improved average dwell time method, which considers different decay rates of a Lyapunov function related to each of the active subsystems according to whether the saturations occur or not, respectively. It is shown that the improved average dwell time method is less conservative than the common average dwell time method. Based on the improved average dwell time method, the sufficient conditions and state feedback controllers for stabilization of the switched system are derived. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed approach.

This work researches the problem of searching for multiple homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions (HPLFs) for heterogeneous switched linear systems. First, a nonconvex optimization condition is constructed to study the stability property of heterogeneous switched systems, where each Lyapunov function candidate reduces dimension to their corresponding matrix eigenvalue. Based on the stability analysis condition, a controller-dependently multiple HPLFs condition is introduced to determine controllers and explores locally minimum mode-dependent average dwell time (LMMDADT). Additionally, the existing properties condition and solvable properties condition of controllers are given in the form of HPLFs. At last, a practical example and a contrast example are both presented to show feasibility of the proposed results.
