Input-to-state stability for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear systems by an improved average Dwell time method (Q1717777)

Summary: This paper investigates the input-to-state stable in the mean (ISSiM) property of the switched stochastic nonlinear (SSN) systems with an improved average dwell time (ADT) method in two cases: (i) all of the constituent subsystems are ISSiM and (ii) parts of the constituent subsystems are ISSiM. First, an improved ADT method for stability of SSN systems is introduced. Then, based on that not only a new ISSiM result for SSN systems whose subsystems are ISSiM is presented, but also a new ISSiM result for such systems in which parts of subsystems are ISSiM is established. In comparison with the existing ones, the main results obtained in this paper have some advantages. Finally, an illustrative example with numerical simulation is verified the correctness and validity of the proposed results.
