Energy-to-peak control for switched systems with PDT switching

Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of energy-to-peak control for continuous-time switched systems. A generalized switching signal, known as persistent dwell-time switching, is considered. Two different strategies for state-feedback controller design are proposed, using distinct Lyapunov functions and a few decoupling techniques. The critical distinction between these two strategies lies in their temporal characteristics: one is time-independent, while the other is quasi-time-dependent. Compared to the former, the latter has the potential to be less conservative. The validity of the proposed design strategies is demonstrated through an example.
