Novel Approach to Switched Controller Design for Linear Continuous-Time Systems

Journal article, 2016

In this paper, we study a novel approach to the design of an output feedback switched controller with an arbitrary switching algorithm for continuous-time invariant systems that is described by a novel plant model as a gain-scheduled plant using the multiple quadratic stability and quadratic stability approaches. In the proposed design procedure, there is no need to use the notion of the "dwell time". The obtained results are in the form of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMI). Numerical examples show that, in the proposed method, the design procedure is less conservative and gives more possibilities than that described in the papers published previously.
