Robust output feedback stabilizability via controller switching (Q1295111)

Consider the system \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x & = Ax+ B_1\xi(t)+ B_2u(t),\\ z & = Kx+ Gu(t),\\ y & = Cx+ v(t)\end{aligned} \] where \(\xi\), \(v\) being uncertainty inputs satisfying \[ \int^{t_k}_0 (|\xi(t)|^2+ |v(t)|^2) dt\leq d+ \int^{t_k}_0|z(t)|^2 dt, \] where \(\lim_{k\to\infty} t_k= \infty\) and \(d\geq 0\). The controller is in fact a family of nonlinear controllers \(u_i= U_i(y)\), \(i= 1,\dots, k\). These controllers are switched according to some rule in order that the closed loop system should be stable. An example is given.
