Stabilization of switched systems with unstable modes via mode-partition-dependent ADT

This paper concerns the stability of switched systems orchestrating between unstable modes. First, a mode partition is applied to select stabilizing switching from the switching between modes from different subsets. Second, a piecewise Lyapunov-like function is applied to decline at stabilizing switching times. Then, the stability criteria build on mode-partition-dependent average dwell time by collecting enough stabilizing switching behavior to stabilize the destabilizing switching behavior and unstable modes. Finally, the simulation verification shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the method.     

Exponential stability of switched linear impulsive time-varying system and its application

This paper aims at the problem of exponential stability for switched linear impulsive time-varying system. By constructing two different switched discretized Lyapunov functions, some new sufficient conditions ensuring the global exponential stability of switched linear impulsive time-varying system are provided, which can be employed to the case when all subsystems are unstable. Furthermore, we apply theoretical results to the consensus of multi-agent system with switching topologies. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of given results.     

Observer-based quantized control for discrete-time switched systems with infinitely distributed delay

This paper studies the globally almost surely exponential stabilization of discrete-time switched systems (DSSs) with infinitely distributed delay. On account of the limitation of communication resources in the actual environment, a novel class of observer-based quantized control scheme is designed that incorporates the quantization of three kinds of signals: the measurement output, the state of observer, and the measurement output of observer. By employing S-procedure and some matrix inequality techniques, an algorithm is given to design the controller parameters. To reduce the conservativeness of the obtained results, new multiple Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) with negative terms are proposed to deal with the infinitely distributed delay and mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) switching based on transition probability (TP) is introduced to study the stabilization of DSSs with both stable and unstable modes. It is worth highlighting that the improved stabilization conditions for DSSs can release the restriction on the length of dwell time (DT) of stable and unstable subsystems. Finally, a simulation example is presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.     

Robust simultaneous fault detection and control for a class of nonlinear stochastic switched delay systems under asynchronous switching

This paper concerns the simultaneous fault detection and control (SFDC) problem for a class of nonlinear stochastic switched systems with time-varying state delay and parameter uncertainties. The switching signal of detector/controller unit (DCU) is assumed to be with switching delay, which results in the asynchronous switching between the subsystems and DCU. By constructing a switching strategy depending on the state and switching delays, new sufficient conditions expressed by a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is derived to design DCU gains. This problem is formulated as an H_∞ optimization problem and both mean square exponential stability and fault detection of augmented system are considered. A numerical example is finally exploited to verify the effectiveness and potential of the achieved scheme.     

Stability of mode-dependent linear switched singular systems with stable and unstable subsystems

This paper studies the E-exponential stability of mode-dependent linear switched singular systems with stable and unstable subsystems. First, by constructing an appropriate multiple discontinuous Lyapunov function, new sufficient conditions of E-exponential stability for linear switched singular systems are established. Considering the feature of mode-dependent average dwell time switching, we adopt the switching strategy where fast switching and slowing switching are respectively applied to unstable and stable subsystems. Compared with the existing results, our approach is more flexible and tighter bounds can be obtained. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed criteria.     

Energy analysis of a class of state-dependent switched systems with all unstable subsystems

In this paper, we investigate the stability and periodicity of a class of state-dependent switched systems with all unstable subsystems by means of energy analysis. We firstly transform the unstable subsystems reversibly into the form of second order mechanical systems, and then construct energy functions by calculating the sum of kinetic and potential energies of each subsystem. After that, two switching lines, derived from the lines with the largest and smallest energy drops, make the stable phase trajectory approach to the equilibrium point at the fastest speed. In addition, we explore possible dynamic behaviors of the switched system under a pair of switching line including asymptotic stability, instability and periodicity. Furthermore, based on the bisection method and nested intervals theorem, we design a state-dependent switching law, which makes the switched system periodic initiated from a stable switching law. Finally, numerical simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method with practical significance.     

Stabilization of networked periodic piecewise linear systems under asynchronous switching with packet dropouts

In this paper, the networked stabilization of discrete-time periodic piecewise linear systems under transmission package dropouts is investigated. The transmission package dropouts result in the loss of control input and the asynchronous switching between the subsystems and the associated controllers. Before studying the networked control, the sufficient conditions of exponential stability and stabilization of discrete-time periodic piecewise linear systems are proposed via the constructed dwell-time dependent Lyapunov function with time-varying Lyapunov matrix at first. Then to tackle the bounded time-varying packet dropouts issue of switching signal in the networked control, a continuous unified time-varying Lyapunov function is employed for both the synchronous and asynchronous subintervals of subsystems, the corresponding stabilization conditions are developed. The state-feedback stabilizing controller can be directly designed by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) instead of iterative optimization used in continuous-time periodic piecewise linear systems. The effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results is illustrated by numerical examples.     

Exponential stabilization of switched linear systems subject to actuator saturation with stabilizable and unstabilizable subsystems

This paper is concerned with the exponential stabilization of switched linear systems subject to actuator saturation with both stabilizable subsystems and unstabilizable subsystems for continuous-time case and discrete-time case, respectively. Sufficient conditions for the exponential stabilization under dwell time switching under the cases of continuous-time and discrete-time are established by using a novel class of multiple time-varying Lyapunov function. The existence conditions for stabilizing controllers are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for the continuous-time case and the discrete-time case, respectively. Two optimization problems are proposed for obtaining the maximal attraction region. The problem of exponential stabilization for switched system subject to actuator saturation with asynchronous switching controller is also studied. Several numerical examples are presented to prove the validity of the obtained results.     

Stabilization of differently structured hybrid neutral stochastic systems by delay feedback control under highly nonlinear condition

This paper mainly studies the stabilization of differently structured highly nonlinear hybrid neutral stochastic systems by delay feedback control. Based on the existing works, our new neutral type stochastic system has completely different highly nonlinear structures in switching subspaces, which is more general and applicable. When such a system is given unstable, we focus on studying the asymptotic and exponential stability criteria by designing a feedback control with a time delay for the underlying system. A simulating example is shown to illustrate the feasibility of these results.     

Stabilization of switched delay systems with polytopic uncertainties under asynchronous switching

In this paper, the problem of stabilization for a class of switched delay systems with polytopic type uncertainties under asynchronous switching is investigated. When the switching of the controllers has a lag to the switching of subsystems, i.e. the switching signal of the switched controller involves delay, parameter-dependent Lyapunov functionals are constructed, which are allowed to increase during the running time of active subsystems with the mismatched controller. Based on the average dwell time method, sufficient conditions for exponential stability are developed for a class of switching signals. Finally, a river pollution control problem is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed design techniques.     

Distributed event-triggered sliding mode control of switched systems

This paper investigates the problem of distributed event-triggered sliding mode control (SMC) for switched systems with limited communication capacity. Moreover, the system output and switching signals are both considered to be sampled by distributed digital sensors, which may cause control delay and asynchronous switching. First of all, a novel distributed event-triggering scheme for switched systems is proposed to reduce bandwidth requirements. Then, a state observer is designed to estimate the system state via sampled system output with transmission delay. Based on the observed system state, a switched SMC law and corresponding switching law are designed to guarantee the exponential stability of the closed-loop system with H_∞ performance. Finally, an application example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

On delay-independent stabilization analysis for a class of switched time-delay systems with the state-driven switching strategy

In this paper, in view of the state-driven switching method and Lyapunov stability theorem, the sufficient stability conditions with delay-independence have been derived for switched time-delay system under a simple switching rule. The particular method can be applied to cases, whose all individual subsystems are unstable. Finally, one example is performed to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed techniques.     

Regulation of linear systems with both pointwise and distributed input delays by memoryless feedback

This paper is concerned with the stabilization of linear systems with both pointwise and distributed input delays, which can be arbitrarily large yet exactly known. The state vector used in the well-known Artstein transformation is firstly linked with the future state of the system. Pseudo-predictor feedback (PPF) approaches are then established to design memory stabilizing controllers. Necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system are established in terms of the stability of some integral delay systems. Furthermore, since the PPF still is infinite-dimensional state feedback law and may cause difficulties in their practical implementation, truncated pseudo-predictor feedback (TPPF) approaches are established to design finite dimensional (memoryless) controllers. It is shown that the pointwise and distributed input delays can be compensated properly by the TPPF as long as the open-loop system is polynomially unstable. Finally, two numerical examples, one of which is the spacecraft rendezvous control system, are carried out to support the obtained theoretical results.     

Non-weighted H∞ performance for 2-D FMLSS switched system with maximum and minimum dwell time

This paper investigates the H_∞ performance of two-dimensional (2-D) switched system represented by Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space (FMLSS) model with maximum and minimum dwell time approach. By using the multiple Lyapunov function approach, and designing a set of switching signals subject to maximum and minimum dwell time characteristic, respectively, for all stable subsystems or both stable and unstable subsystems exist, we give the sufficient condition on exponential stability of the given switched system, and propose the sufficient condition which can guarantee that the given switched system is exponentially stable and has a specified H_∞ disturbance attenuation level γ. All the results obtained are on normal noise attenuation index of strictly non-weighted form, which are better than the existing results on weak one of weighted form from the physical point of view. Finally, numerical examples are presented to display the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Stabilization of discrete-time switched singular time-delay systems under asynchronous switching

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback stabilization of a class of discrete-time switched singular systems with time-varying state delay under asynchronous switching. The asynchronous switching considered here means that the switching instants of the candidate controllers lag behind those of the subsystems. The concept of mismatched control rate is introduced. By using the multiple Lyapunov function approach and the average dwell time technique, a sufficient condition for the existence of a class of stabilizing switching laws is first derived to guarantee the closed-loop system to be regular, causal and exponentially stable in the presence of asynchronous switching. The stabilizing switching laws are characterized by a upper bound on the mismatched control rate and a lower bound on the average dwell time. Then, the corresponding solvability condition for a set of mode-dependent state feedback controllers is established by using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Global dissipativity of delayed neural networks with impulses

In this paper, we investigate the problem of global exponential dissipativity of neural networks with variable delays and impulses. The impulses are classified into three classes: input disturbances, stabilizing and “neutral” type—the impulses are neither helpful for stabilizing nor destabilizing the neural networks. We handle the three types of impulses in a uniform way by using the excellent ideology introduced recently. To this end, we propose new techniques which coupled with more general Lyapunov functions to realize the ideology and it is shown that they are more effective. Exponential dissipativity conditions are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and these conditions can be straightforwardly reduced to exponential stability conditions. Numerical results are given to show that the obtained conditions are effective and less conservative than the existing ones.     

Exponential stability of switched genetic regulatory networks with both stable and unstable subsystems

This paper concerns the stability analysis problem for stochastic delayed switched genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with both stable and unstable subsystems. By employing the piecewise Lyapunov functional method combined with the average dwell time approach, we show that if the average dwell time is chosen sufficiently large and the derivative of the Lyapunov-like function for unstable subsystems is bounded by certain kind of continuous function, then exponential stability criteria of a desired degree are guaranteed. The derived results show that the minimal average dwell time is proportional to the time delays. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived results.     

Stability analysis of stochastic switching singular systems with jumps

This paper deals with the stability problem of a class of stochastic switching singular systems with jumps, where all the continuous subsystems can be unstable. By introducing multiple time-varying discretized Lyapunov functions and designing novel switching signals via mode-dependent dwell times, sufficient conditions ensuring mean square and almost sure stabilities of the considered systems are obtained. On the basis of these findings, some existing results in the literature are further generalized. We finally provide a numerical example to verify the applicability of the proposed theoretical results.     

Observer-based defense control for networked Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems against asynchronous DoS attacks

This article investigates the defense control problem for sampled-data Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with multiple transmission channels against asynchronous denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Firstly, a new switching security control method is proposed to tolerate the asynchronous DoS attacks that act independently on each channel. Then, based on switching strategy, the resulting augmented sampled-data system can be converted into new switched systems including several stable subsystems and one open-loop subsystem. Besides, by applying the piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii (L-K) function method, membership functions (MFs) dependent sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential stability of newly constructed switching systems. Moreover, quantitative relations among the sampling period, the exponential decay rate, and the rate of all channels being fully attacked and not being completely attacked are established. Finally, simulation examples show the effectiveness of the developed defense control approach.     

Incremental H∞ performance for a class of stochastic switched nonlinear systems

In this paper, we investigate the incremental H_∞ performance problem for a class of stochastic switched nonlinear systems by using a state-dependent switching law and the maximum and minimum dwell time approach. By resorting to the state-dependent switching law, some sufficient conditions are provided to cope with the incremental H_∞ performance problem, which can be applied even if all subsystems are unstable. Then, based on the maximum and minimum dwell time scheme, the incremental H_∞ performance problem to be solvable is derived for two cases: one is all subsystems are incrementally globally asymptotically stable in the mean(IGASiM), another is both IGASiM subsystems and unstable subsystems coexist. When all subsystems are IGASiM, the stochastic switched nonlinear system is IGASiM and possesses a incremental L₂-gain under given conditions. When both IGASiM subsystems and unstable subsystems coexist, if the activation time ratio between IGASiM subsystems and unstable ones is not less than a specified constant, the sufficient conditions for the incremental H_∞ performance of the stochastic switched nonlinear system are given. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of methods proposed.
