This paper investigated H∞ performance of the switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delay, which contains mixed modes, important characteristics of switched delay systems. Most of the references ignored the existence of mixed modes in such systems, which is a fatal mistake. This paper will correct the mistake of the existing references. The mixed modes give the H∞ control for switched nonlinear delay systems a challenge. With this difficulty, we take measures to handle the effects of mixed modes on such systems and achieve the H∞ performance of such systems. Firstly, the H∞ control analysis is divided into two cases, and the sufficient conditions for the exponential decay of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are given with the integral interval approach. Secondly, the combination of average dwell-time approach and subsystem activation rate is utilized to achieve the H∞ performance for the mixed-mode based switched systems with time-varying delay. Finally, simulation examples show the efficiency of the switching control strategy.
