This paper presents a general framework for analyzing stability of nonlinear switched systems, by combining the method of multiple Lyapunov functions with a suitably adapted comparison principle in the context of stability in terms of two measures. For deterministic switched systems, this leads to a unification of representative existing results and an improvement upon the current scope of the ...

This paper generalizes the Lasalle-Yoshizawa Theorem to switched nonsmooth systems. It is established that Filippov (Krasovskii) regularization of a switched system is contained within the convex hull of the Filippov (Krasovskii) regularizations of the subsystems. A common candidate Lyapunov function that has a negative semidefinite derivative along the trajectories of the subsystems is shown t...

This paper studies the induced L2-norm problem for switched linear parameter varying (LPV) systems using a blending method. For a switched LPV system where the parameters are grouped into slow-varying and fast-varying parameters, the blending method is used to construct blended Lyapunov functions based on the multiple Lyapunov functions conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). ...

We propose the notion of nondecreasing Lyapunov functions which can be used to prove stability or other properties of the system in question. This notion is in particular useful in studying switched or hybrid systems. We illustrate the concept by a general construction of such a nondecreasing Lyapunov function for a class of planar hybrid systems. It is noted that this class encompasses switche...

Systems of conservation laws and systems of balance laws are considered in this paper. These kinds of infinite dimensional systems are described by a linear hyperbolic partial differential equation with and without a linear source term. The dynamics and the boundary conditions are subject to a switching signal that is a piecewise constant function. By means of Lyapunov techniques some sufficien...

We establish a unified approach to stability analysis for switched linear descriptor systems under arbitrary switching in both continuous-time and discrete-time domains. The approach is based on common quadratic Lyapunov functions incorporated with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). We show that if there is a common quadratic Lyapunov function for the stability of all subsystems, then the switc...

The input-to-state stability (ISS) problem is studied for switched systems with infinite subsystems. By the method of multiple Lyapunov function, a sufficient ISS condition is given based on a quantitative relation of the input and the values of the Lyapunov functions of the subsystems before and after the switching instants. In terms of the average dwell-time of the switching laws, some suffic...

In this paper, piecewise linear switched systems affected by both parameter variations and exterior disturbances are considered. The problem of synthesis of switching laws, which assure that the system state is ultimately bounded within a given compact set containing the origin with an assigned rate of convergence, is investigated. Given an uncertain switched linear system, we present a systema...
