Stabilization of a class of continuous-time switched systems with state constraints via a mode-dependent switching method
Summary: The stability and the stabilization problems for a class of continuous-time switched systems with state constraints via a mode-dependent switching method are investigated. The paper presents an improved average dwell time method, which considers different decay rates of a Lyapunov function related to each of the active subsystems according to whether the saturations occur or not, respectively. It is shown that the improved average dwell time method is less conservative than the common average dwell time method. Based on the improved average dwell time method, the sufficient conditions and state feedback controllers for stabilization of the switched system are derived. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed approach.
