Disturbance attenuation and rejection for a class of switched nonlinear systems subject to input and sensor saturations (Q2298561)

Summary: This paper investigates the problem of disturbance attenuation and rejection for a class of switched nonlinear systems subject to input and sensor saturations, in which exosystem generated disturbances and \(H_2\)-norm bounded disturbances are considered. The full-order and reduced-order observers are designed according to whether the system states are available or not. Based on the estimating values of the system states and exosystem generated disturbances, the design schemes for the composite controllers are put forward based on the full-order and reduced-order observers, respectively. For a switched system, the input and sensor saturations would influence the effective synthesis of observer and controller. By sector nonlinearity technology, the stability of the augmented closed-loop systems under the proposed composite controllers are analyzed, and the conditions of synthesis of the observers and controllers are further presented to ensure the augmented systems to be robustly asymptotically stable with a weighted \(H_{\infty}\) performance level. An example is given to guarantee the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.
