This paper considers the robust exponential stability for switched systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations. A Lyapunov-Krasovskii function, which takes the range information of the time-varying delay into account, is proposed to analyze the stability. Furthermore, we also consider the effect of time-varying delay on the stability of switched systems. In the analysis of switched systems, free-weighting matrices is employed to improve the solvability of problems and make the result be less conservative. The switching strategy is projected by using average dwell time method, and nonlinear perturbations are limited to common constraint without loss generality. The sufficient condition of delay-range-dependent exponential stability for switched systems is presented by using Lyapunov stability theory. However, this condition is not easy to verify. This problem can be solved easily by transforming them into equivalent linear matrix inequalities (LMIS) using Schur complement lemma. Finally, switched law of robust exponential stability is obtained for switched systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations.

0 Introduction

Switched systems are a special class of hybrid systems, which consist of several subsystems and a switching law. The switching law decides the active subsystems at each instant time. In recent decades, switched systems have been paid more attentions by control theorist and engineers, on the other hand, systems with time delay is ubiquitous in engineering[1-4]. With the development of networked control technology, many efforts have been made to investigate the stability of systems with interval time-varying delay[5-9].

Most of the results for switched systems centralize on analysis and design of the stability. A class of switched systems with stably convex combination of structural matrix was introduced in[2]. Switched systems with time-varying delay were studied by average dwell time method in[3]. A sufficient condition of the switched systems with time-delay was given in[4]. A novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional was studied in[7]. In[10], the switched systems with mixed delayed and nonlinear perturbations were proved. Delay-range-dependent stability was investigated in [11] by using the free-weighting matrix approach[12-13].

In practice, owing to the presence of some uncertainties due to environmental noise, uncertain or slowly varying parameters, etc. the problem of robust stability of time-varying systems under nonlinear perturbations has received increasing attention in [14-18].

In this paper, we deal with delay-range-dependent stability problem for switched systems with time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations. The sufficient conditions of delay-range-dependent exponential stability for switched systems with time-varying delay are presented by using average dwell time method and free weighting matrix method. The proposed stability criteria are given in the form of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs).

In this paper, we investigate the stability problem of system (1) with the interval time-varying satisfying (2) and the nonlinear perturbationsf(x(t),t) andg(x(t-τ(t),t) satisfying (3) and (4). Our main objective is to derive new delay -range -dependent stability conditions under which system (1) is exponentially stable.

讨论了一类带有时变时滞和非线性扰动的切换系统的鲁棒指数稳定性问题。通过构造新的李雅普诺夫-克拉索夫斯基函数研究切换系统的稳定性,同时考虑了时变时滞对系统稳定性的影响。在系统分析过程中,采用自由权矩阵的方法,提高问题的可解性并使结果具有更小的保守性,切换策略采用平均驻留时间的方法,未知的非线性扰动采用通常的限制方法。根据Lyapunov稳定性定理,得到了切换系统时滞依赖鲁棒指数稳定性的充分条件。该判定条件不易检验,利用Schur补引理可以把这个条件化成等价的易于求解的线性矩阵不等式形式,从而获得该类系统鲁棒稳定性的切换控制策略。
