Dissipative dynamic output feedback control for switched systems via multistep Lyapunov function approach
The conservatism reduction problem of dissipative dynamic output feedback (DOF) control for a class of average dwell time switched system is investigated via a multistep Lyapunov function (LF) approach. First, a larger dissipative region with guaranteed stability and specifically, smaller [Formula: see text] level can be achieved by increasing a predictive step N, which means the monotonic requirement of LF is relaxed. Then, based on the results of dissipative analysis, a robust dissipative DOF controller is further designed. Unlike the traditional method that introduces equality constraint to obtain numerical testable conditions with heuristic nature, a less conservative controller is designed, where the LF matrix is formulated without structural constraint.
