Formation Problem

This paper investigates the finite-time formation problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with switching topologies and external disturbances. The formation problem is first transformed into the finite-time stability and bounded problems of a switched system, respectively. In particular, the finite-time unachievable topology is concerned for unreliable information exchanges. By employing the average dwell time (ADT) method, sufficient criteria are established to deal with the switching topologies such that the desired time-varying formation can be achieved in finite time. Then, the topology-dependent controller can be designed in terms of matrix technique. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the effectiveness of our proposed formation strategy.

This paper investigates the finite-time stability problem of switching genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with interval time-varying delays and unbounded continuous distributed delays. Based on the piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the average dwell time method, some new finite-time stability criteria are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which are easy to be confirmed by the Matlab toolbox. The finite-time stability is taken into account in switching genetic regulatory networks for the first time and the average dwell time of the switching signal is obtained. Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Finite Time Stability

Finite-time stability and stabilization for switched nonlinear systems has been investigated in the paper. Based on existing works, we find that related results on autonomous switched nonlinear systems cannot be simply extended to non-autonomous systems. A sufficient condition has been proposed for this class of systems using the average dwell time method. Specifically, a control Lyapunov function approach is employed to stabilize the system and the finite-time controller is designed using a small control property. In contrast to autonomous switched systems, a finite-time stabilizer is constructed for time-varying switched nonlinear systems, even under the situation in which the switching mode is different between the system and the controller. Furthermore, the relation between the settling time and the average dwell time has been revealed. Finally, an example case is presented for the obtained result.

Finite Time Boundedness

Finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness of fractional order switched systems with [Formula: see text] are investigated in this paper. First of all, by employing the average dwell time technique and Lyapunov functional method, some sufficient conditions for finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness of fractional order switched systems are proposed. Furthermore, the state feedback controllers are constructed, and sufficient conditions are given to ensure that the corresponding closed-loop systems are finite-time stable and finite-time bounded. These conditions can be easily obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the results.

Finite Time Boundedness

Finite-time stability has more practical application values than the classical Lyapunov asymptotic stability over a fixed finite-time interval. The problems of finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness for a class of continuous switched descriptor systems are considered in this paper. Based on the average dwell time approach and the multiple Lyapunov functions technique, the concepts of finite-time stability and boundedness are extended to continuous switched descriptor systems. In addition, sufficient conditions for the existence of state feedback controllers in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are obtained with arbitrary switching rules, which guarantee that the switched descriptor system is finite-time stable and finite-time bounded, respectively. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed results.
