For a dynamical system, it is known that the existence of a Lyapunov density implies almost global stability of an equilibrium. It is then natural to ask whether the existence of a common Lyapunov density for a nonlinear switched system implies almost global stability, in the same way as a common Lyapunov function implies global stability for nonlinear switched systems. In this work, the answer to this question is shown to be affirmative as long as switchings satisfy a dwell-time constraint with an arbitrarily small dwell time. As a straightforward extension of this result, we employ multiple Lyapunov densities in analogy with the role of multiple Lyapunov functions for the global stability of switched systems. This gives rise to a minimum dwell time estimate to ensure almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems, when a common Lyapunov density does not exist. The results obtained for continuous-time switched systems are based on some sufficient conditions for the almost global stability of discrete-time non-autonomous systems. These conditions are obtained using the duality between Frobenius-Perron operator and Koopman operator.

This paper discusses the issue of the continuous state estimation for a class of uncertain nonlinear switched systems under the two cases of both average dwell time and mode-dependent average dwell time. A robust and adaptive switched observer is developed such that the states of an original nonlinear switched system can be asymptotically estimated, where the Lipschitz constant of the nonlinear term may be unknown since the designed adaptation law can adaptively adjust it. Based on the feasible solution of an optimization problem with a linear matrix inequality constraint, the observer gain matrices are obtained and guarantee the existence of a robust switched observer. Meanwhile, the switching signals are designed such that the observer error dynamics is globally uniformly exponentially stable, and the sufficient conditions of the existence of a robust sliding-mode switched observer are derived. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approaches is illustrated by a numerical example and switched Rössler chaotic dynamics.

This paper studies the input-to-state stability (ISS) of nonlinear switched systems. By using Lyapunov method involving indefinite derivative and average dwell-time (ADT) method, some sufficient conditions for ISS are obtained. In our approach, the time-derivative of the Lyapunov function is not necessarily negative definite and that allows wider applications than existing results in the literature. Examples are provided to illustrate the applications and advantages of our general results and the proposed approach.

A sufficient condition for the almost global sta-bility of nonlinear switched systems under average dwell timerestriction is obtained. This condition is derived leaning uponthe existence of multiple Lyapunov densities, which are associ-ated to subsystems and satisfy some compatibility conditions.An upper bound for the average dwell time that ensures almostglobal stability is obtained.

AbstractThis paper studies a class of impulsive switched systems with persistent bounded disturbance using robust attractor analysis and multiple Lyapunov functions. Some sufficient conditions for internal stability of the systems are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Based on the results, a simple approach for the design of a feedback controller is presented to achieve a desired level of disturbance attenuation. Numerical examples are also worked out to illustrate the obtained results.

This paper presents sufficient conditions for almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems consisting of both stable and unstable subsystems. Techniques from the stability analysis of switched systems have been combined with the multiple Lyapunov density approach - recently proposed by the authors for the almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems composed of stable subsystems. By using slow switching for stable subsystems and fast switching for unstable subsystems lower and upper bounds for mode-dependent average dwell times are obtained. In addition to that, by allowing each subsystem to perform slow switching and using some restrictions on total operation time of unstable subsystems and stable subsystems, we have obtained a lower bound for an average dwell time.
