Finite-time boundedness and \(H_\infty\) control for affine switched systems (Q1720566): Difference between revisions

Summary: For affine switched systems, the existence of multiple equilibria is related to subsystems owing to the affine terms, which makes asymptotic and finite-time stability analysis nontrivial. In this paper, the problems of finite-time boundedness (FTB) analysis and stabilization are addressed for affine switched systems, and several definitions and sufficient conditions are proposed to study FTB and \(H_{\infty}\) performance. At first, the definition of FTB for affine switched systems is improved concerning the affine terms and multiple equilibria. Based on the FTB definition, sufficient conditions ensuring finite-time boundedness for affine switched systems under a prespecified state boundary are given. Then the results are extended to solve \(H_{\infty}\) finite-time boundedness problem, in which the \(H_{\infty}\) controllers are designed to guarantee the finite-time boundedness of affine switched system with \(H_{\infty}\) performance. In our investigation, average dwell-time approach is employed to study the time-dependent constrained switching case. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
