Finite-time stability of nonlinear switched impulsive systems

In this article, the problem of finite-time stability (FTS) of nonlinear switched impulsive systems is first considered. A new concept of FTS is introduced and sufficient conditions for a switched impulsive system to be finite-time stable are presented by using switched Lyapunov functions. Some results of FTS of impulsive systems and switched systems can be obtained from this article as special cases, respectively. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Finite-time annular domain stability of Itô stochastic impulsive systems with markovian jumping under asynchronous switching

ABSTRACT

This study examines the finite time annular domain stability (FTADS) and stabilisation of a class of Itô stochastic impulsive systems with asynchronous switching controller. The asynchronous switching means that the controller switching does not accurately coincide with system switching in delayed time interval. The design of the controller depends on the observed jumping parameters, which cannot be precisely measured in real-time because of switching delay. Our results apply to cases where some subsystems of the switched systems are not necessarily stable under the influence of input delay. When the subsystem is stable in the synchronous switching interval and unstable in the asynchronous case, a compromise among the average impulsive interval, the upper bound of delay, and the decay/increasing rate of Lyapunov function in the synchronous/asynchronous switching interval respectively is given. By the mode-dependent parameter approach (MDPA) and allowing the increase of the impulses on all the switching times, the extended FTADS criteria for Itô stochastic impulsive systems in generally nonlinear setting are derived first. Then, we focus on the case when the system in both synchronous and asynchronous switching intervals are unstable. By reaching a tradeoff among average impulsive interval, the upper bound of delay, the magnitude of impulses and the difference between the increasing rate of Lyapunov function in the synchronous and asynchronous switching interval, new sufficient conditions for existence of the state feedback controller are also developed by MDPA. In addition, we consider the effect of different impulsive strengths (harmful and beneficial impulses) and obtained less conservative results because the Lyapunov function may be non-decreasing during switching interval. Moreover, we extend the conclusion from nonlinear stochastic impulsive switching systems to linear case. Finally, we present two examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the results obtained in this study.

New finite-time stability conditions of linear switched singular systems with finite-time unstable subsystems

ABSTRACT

This paper addresses the finite-time stability problem of linear switched singular systems with finite-time unstable subsystems. Dynamic decomposition techniques are used to transform such systems into equivalent one that is a reduced-order switched normal systems. Based on the mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) switching signal, new sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee the linear switched singular systems with finite-time unstable subsystems being finite-time stability, finite-time bounded and finite-time stabilization. Finally, a numerical example is employed to verify the efficiency of the preceding method.     

Robust finite-time guaranteed cost control for impulsive switched systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust finite-time guaranteed cost control for a class of impulsive switched systems with time-varying delay. Firstly, the definitions of finite-time boundedness, finite-time stabilization, and robust finite-time guaranteed cost control are presented. Next, based on the average dwell-time approach, sufficient conditions on robust finite-time guaranteed cost control are obtained for the uncertain impulsive switched systems. Then, by using multiple Lyapunov-like functional method and linear matrix equality (LMI) technique, the state feedback controller is designed to guarantee that the uncertain impulsive switched system is finite-time stabilized. Furthermore, a finite-time guaranteed cost bound is given. Finally, a numerical example is shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Stability analysis and control synthesis of switched impulsive systems

In this paper, we investigate the stability analysis problem of switched impulsive nonlinear systems and several stabilization problems of switched discrete‐time linear systems are studied. First, sufficient conditions ensuring globally uniformly asymptotically stability of switched nonlinear impulsive system under arbitrary and DDT (dynamical dwell time which defines the length of the time interval between two successive switchings) switching are derived, respectively. In the DDT switching case, we first consider the switched system composed by stable subsystems, then we extend the results to the case where not all subsystems are stable. The stabilizations of switched discrete‐time linear system under arbitrary switching, DDT switching and asynchronous switching are investigated respectively. Based on the stability analysis results, the control synthesis consists of controller design for each subsystem and state impulsive jumping generators design at switching instant. With the aid of the state impulsive jumping generators at switching instant, the ‘energy’ produced by switching can be minimized, which leads to less conservative results. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed results within this paper. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Finite-time event-triggered control for a class of cascade switched affine nonlinear systems

This paper is concerned with the finite-time boundedness (FTB) problem of a class of cascade switched affine nonlinear systems. In order to avoid unnecessary waste of network communication and Zeno behavior, a dynamical event-triggered scheme is proposed, which is more general than some existing event-triggered schemes with a common parameter matrix. By using the average dwell time method and multiple Lyapunov function technologies, sufficient conditions for the existence of controller gains are first proposed such that the closed-loop system is finite-time bounded with a finite-time disturbance attenuation performance. It is also proved that the Zeno phenomenon is excluded. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Finite-time stability of linear time-varying singular systems with impulsive effects

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of finite-time stability of linear time-varying singular systems with impulses at fixed times, and present new results for the above-mentioned class of system in the form of sufficient conditions. A sufficient condition is given in terms of matrix inequalities, which gives the opportunity of fitting the finite-time control problem in the general framework via impulsive control. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed result.     

Reduced-order observer-based finite-time control for one-sided Lipschitz nonlinear switched singular systems

The reduced-order observer-based finite-time control problem for one-sided Lipschitz nonlinear switched singular systems is addressed in this paper. First, the design method of the reduced-order observer is given via state transformation. Then, based on the average dwell time (ADT) approach, some new sufficient conditions for regularity, impulse-freeness, have a unique solution and finite-time boundedness (FTB) of the dynamic augmented systems are obtained by exploring the reduced-order observer-based controller. Further, the lower finite-time bound can be obtained by using singular value decomposition method. And the state feedback gain and the observer gain are computed by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the validity of the obtained method is illustrated by means of a numerical example and a DC motor system.     

On singular hybrid switched and impulsive systems

In this work, the problem of stability analysis for a class of singular hybrid switched and impulsive system (HSIS) is addressed. Corresponding to each subsystem, a hybrid switched and impulsive controller is designed and then the exponential stability property of the proposed singular HSIS is discussed for linear and nonlinear cases. Because switched systems without impulses are a special case of HSISs, the results are also given to switched system with synchronous and asynchronous controllers. The obtained results apply to control singular systems, and the introduced theorems allow knowing how the control must be designed. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. At first, by using MATLAB^® software, the proposed method is applied to a class of physiological processes of endocrine disruptor diethylstilbestrol models to illustrate the effectiveness of the results obtained here for the linear case. Thereafter, another numerical example is provided to support the presented theoretical results for the nonlinear case.     

Finite‐time stability of fractional order impulsive switched systems

This paper considers the finite‐time stability of fractional order impulsive switched systems. First, by using the fractional order Lyapunov function, Mittag–Leffler function, and Gronwall–Bellman lemma, two sufficient conditions are given to verify the finite‐time stability of fractional order nonlinear systems. Then, the concept of finite‐time stability is extended to fractional order impulsive switched systems. A sufficient condition is given to verify the finite‐time stability of fractional order impulsive switched systems by combining the method of average dwell time with fractional order Lyapunov function. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Controllability and observability for time‐varying switched impulsive controlled systems

This paper is concerned with the controllability and observability for linear time‐varying switched impulsive systems. First, some new results about the variation of parameters for time‐varying switched impulsive systems are derived. Then less conservative sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for state controllability and observability of such systems are established. And for such system without impulsive control input, sufficient and necessary conditions for controllability and observability are derived. Furthermore, corresponding criteria applied to time‐varying impulsive systems are also discussed and examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Finite-time stability analysis of impulsive discrete-time switched systems with nonlinear perturbation

The problem of finite-time stability for a class of discrete-time switched systems in the presence of both non-Lipschitz perturbation and impulse effects is studied in this paper. Based on the average dwell-time approach, a criterion is proposed which ensures that the system’s state trajectory remains in a bounded region of the state space over a pre-specified finite-time interval if we impose a bound on the initial condition. It is shown that the finite-time stability degree could be greater than one, which is quite different from the existing results for asymptotic stability. Moreover, the total activation time of the Schur stable subsystems does not need to be greater than that of the unstable subsystems. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Global exponential stability of 2D switched positive nonlinear systems described by the Roesser model

In this paper, we aim to investigate the stability of 2D switched positive nonlinear systems with time‐varying delays in the Roesser model, which includes 2D switched positive linear systems as a special case. By using the average dwell time approach, we give a sufficient condition for the exponential stability of 2D switched positive nonlinear systems. The difficulty caused by the delays is overcome by introducing a model transform and the method used in this paper is different from conventional Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional method. An explicit exponential bound on the decay rate is presented. We also extend the result to the general 2D switched linear systems, not necessarily positive. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained result.     

Regulation in bimodal systems

This paper considers the regulation problem for bimodal systems against known disturbance and reference signals. Switching between the two plant models as well as between the disturbance and reference signals is defined according to a switching surface. The design of the proposed regulators involves three main steps. First, a set of observer‐based Q‐parameterized stabilizing controllers for the switched system is constructed. The stability and the input/output properties for the resulting closed‐loop switched system with the Q‐parameterized controllers are analysed. Second, regulation conditions for each of the two subsystems in the resulting bimodal switched closed‐loop system are presented. In the third step, regulation conditions for the switched closed‐loop system are developed using two approaches. In the first approach, sufficient regulation conditions are derived based on the closed‐loop system's input–output properties. In the second approach, the forced switched closed‐loop system is transformed into an unforced impulsive switched system using an appropriate coordinate transformation. Hence, the regulation problem for the switched closed‐loop system is transformed into a stability analysis problem for the origin of an impulsive switched system. A regulator synthesis method based on solving some linear matrix inequalities is proposed. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
