An LMI Approach to State Feedback H∞ Control for Switched Singular Linear Systems

Abstract

In this paper, the problems of state feedback control for a class of switched singular linear systems are investigated. By constructing a novel switched Lyapunov functional and convex combinations techniques, a sufficient condition established in terms of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is presented such that the system is asymptotically stable and satisfies performance. An explicit expression for the state feedback stabilization sub-controller and switching rule are designed. The merits of the proposed criteria lie in their less conservativeness and relative simplicity, in which the closed-loop system satisfies performance at each point in whole state-space through switching, although each sub-system doesn’t satisfy the performance and even is not asymptotically stable. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed methods.
