Finite-time boundedness and \(L_{2}\)-gain analysis for switched delay systems with norm-bounded disturbance (Q628992)

Consider the class of linear switched delay systems with time-varying exogenous disturbances \[ \begin{aligned}\dot x(t)&=A_{\sigma(t)}x(t)+B_{\sigma(t)}x(t-h)+G_{\sigma(t)}\omega(t),\\ z(t)&= C_{\sigma(t)}x(t)+D_{\sigma(t)}\omega(t),\quad t\geq 0,\tag{1}\\ x(t)&=\varphi(t),\quad t\in[-h,0], \end{aligned} \] where \(x(t)\in\mathbb R^n\) is the state, \(z(t)\in\mathbb R^m\) is the output, \(\omega(t)\) is a time-varying exogenous disturbance meeting the constraint \(\int_0^{\infty}\omega^{\top}(t)\omega(t)\,dt\leq d\), \(\sigma(t):[0,\infty)\to M=\{1,2,\dots,m\}\) is the switching signal. Sufficient conditions are given which guarantee that (1) is finite-time bounded and has finite-time weighted \(L_2\)-gain. These conditions are delay-dependent and are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities and a condition of the form \(\tau_a>\tau_a^*\) where \(\tau_a\) is an average dwell-time. The proofs are based on Lyapunov functionals. A numerical example is given to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
