Analysis and synthesis of switched linear control systems (Q1764035): Difference between revisions

Recently, switched control systems have been attracting much attention because the problems are not only academically challenging, but also of practical importance. The paper provides a concise and timely survey on analysis and synthesis of switched linear control systems described by \[ \begin{aligned} \delta x(t)&=A_{\sigma}x(t)+B_{\sigma}u(t),\\ y(t)&=C_{\sigma}x(t), \end{aligned} \] where \(x\in\mathbb R^n\) is the state, \(u\in\mathbb R^p\) is the control input, \(\sigma\) is the piecewise constant switching signal taking values from the finite index set \(\mathcal F=\{1,2,\dots ,m\}\), \(\delta\) denotes the derivative operator in continuous time (\(\delta x(t)=(d/dt)x(t)\)) and the shift-forward operator in discrete time (\(\delta x(t)=x(t+1)\)). The paper presents the basic concepts and main properties of switched linear control systems in a systematic manner. The fundamental topics include (i) controllability and observability, (ii) system structural decomposition, (iii) feedback controller design for stabilization, and (iv) optimal control. The paper includes a useful and rich list of references.
