Abstract

M

The global stabilization design of a class of switched singular linear systems via a novel dwell-time switching is investigated and solved in this work. The distinguishing feature of the proposed method is that stability of all subsystems of the switched systems is not necessarily required. A time-varying coordinate transformation is introduced first in order to convert the problem into an equivalent one of reduced-order switched conventional linear system with state jumps. Then, by constructing certain new multiple time-varying Lyapunov functions, computable sufficient conditions for the global stabilization task are proposed within the framework of dwell-time switching. Given the assumed instability of individual subsystems, the stabilization of the switched system is achieved under the condition of confining the dwell time by a certain pair of upper and lower bounds, which restrict the growth of Lyapunov function for the actively operating subsystem, thus decrease the energy of the Lyapunov function of the overall switched system at switching times. In addition, the multiple time-varying Lyapunov functions method is also used to analyze the stability analysis of a class of switched linear singular systems with stable subsystems. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the recent past years, an increasing number of researchers have investigated switched systems due to their numerous applications in various fields and system engineering problems such as power electronics, flight control, network control systems, see, e.g., [14–16] and the references therein. Major efforts are devoted to problems of stability, stabilization, H∞ control, optimal control, and so on [1,11,4,9]. So far it has been well established that switching between unstable subsystems may yield stability of the overall system. As far as the stability of switched systems is concerned, most of the reported results appear confined to cases of switched systems where at least one stable subsystem within switched system exists. Thus, switching strategy is viewed as powerful control input even to stabilize a switched systems with all unstable subsystems [18] and is employed to achieve the observers design of switched linear systems with unknown inputs without posing any strong detectability requirements on subsystems of switched systems [10]. How to design such an appropriate switching became one of the most challenging problems in the study of switched systems. It is therefore that this paper is focused on the design of stabilizing switching signal for the class of switched systems with all unstable subsystems. ?

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT On the other hand, since singular linear system models not only describe the system dynamics, but also can capture algebraic constrains [3], switched singular systems have also drawn considerable attention in the recent past [2,6– 8,12,17,19–21]. As stated in [5], it is necessary to allow for solutions in switched singular systems with instantaneous state jumps, which are unavoidable even if all subsystems are regular and impulse-free. This is one of the major distinctions between switched singular systems and switched conventional systems [21]. Thus, in turn, considerable research attention has been devoted to the crucial property of stability under arbitrary switchings and under some constrained switching laws. With the help of consistency projectors, [5] proposed a common Lyapunov function for the stability analysis and design of singular systems under arbitrary switching policies.

CR IP T

Work [13] developed state-dependent switching strategies for stabilization of such switched systems. On the dwelltime-based approach, the stability analysis is studied in [6,8,12,17,19–21]. These studies exploit the features of the dwell time technique: a dwell time of active subsystem can subside for potentially possible large state transients. In addition, it appeared to be a good alternative for studying electrical circuits with physical switches or cases with sudden component faults in electrical and mechanical systems. These gave the main motivation for choosing dwell time technique in the present exploration study. However, dwell-time-based methods in [6,8,12,17,19–21] require that there must be at least one stable subsystem of the switched system to be switched on for the stability analysis to be successful. Thus, naturally questions arise: Is it possible, in the framework of the dwell time technique, to achieve the stabilization design of switched singular linear systems without posing any stability requirements on subsystems of the switched systems? If possible, then under which conditions and how can we come up with a switching policy to achieve this goal? To the best of our knowledge, in the literature there are no results which provide answers to these questions. This precisely is the motivation of the present paper.

To study the problems proposed above, a time-varying coordinate transformation is introduced first in order to convert the problem into an equivalent one of for reduced-order switched conventional linear system with state jumps. Then, by constructing certain new multiple time-varying Lyapunov functions, computable sufficient conditions for the global stabilization task are proposed within the framework of a dwell-time switching. Given the assumed instability of individual subsystems, the stabilization of the switched system is achieved under the condition of confining the dwell time by a certain pair of upper and lower bounds, which restrict the growth of Lyapunov function for the actively operating subsystem, thus decrease energy of the overall switched system at switching times. In addition, the multiple time-varying Lyapunov functions method is also used to analyze the stability analysis of a class of switched linear singular systems with stable subsystems. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Notations: The notations used in this paper are fairly standard. Rn is the n dimensional Euclidean space, Rn×m denotes the set of n × m real matrices, R+ = (0, +∞), and N = {0, 1, 2, · · ·}. xT denotes the transpose of the vector x. The symbol “ ∗ ” represents arbitrary block matrix of appropriate dimensions. P > (≥, <, ≤) 0 is used to denote a positive-definite (positive-semidefinite, negative, negative-semidefinite) matrix. Denote the maximal (minimal) eigenvalues of a matrix P by λmax (P ) (λmin (P )). I and 0 represent identity matrix and zero matrix with proper dimension, respectively. System description and preliminaries

Consider the following switched linear singular systems: (

(1)

x (0) = x0 ,

where x(t) ∈ Rn is the system state, x0 ∈ Rn is a vector-valued initial state, σ(t) : R+ → M = {1, 2, . . . , m} is the switching law, which is assumed to be a piecewise continuous (from the right) function of time and m > 0 is the number of modes of the switched system (i.e., subsystems). Throughout this paper, we assume that σ(t) = σ (tk ) = ik , ik ∈ M, t ∈ [tk , tk+1 ), where tk is the switching instant, this means that the ik th subsystem is activated when t ∈ [tk , tk+1 ). For every i ∈ M , Ei and Ai are constant matrices, and it is assumed that rank (Ei ) = r ≤ n. 2

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT For simplicity, we use (Ei , Ai ) to denote the ith subsystem. The set {tk } generated by σ(t) ∈ T [τ1 , τ2 ] denotes the switching sequences with τ1 ≤ tk − tk−1 ≤ τ2 , k ∈ N .

Main results

CR IP T

The objective of this work is to derive and establish sufficient conditions for the existence of the switching signal to globally asymptotically stabilize the switched singular linear system (1) under the switching law design σ(t). If one of the subsystems is asymptotically stable, then this problem is no longer a challenge. Therefore, in here none of the individual subsystems is assumed to be asymptotically stable.

In this section, we consider two classes of switched singular systems. First we consider the stabilization problem for a switched singular system with all unstable subsystems. And thereafter we study the stability analysis problem for a switched singular system with all stable subsystems for the sake of establishing a parallel.

From (24), we can derive Vi (t, x ¯1 ) ≤ eλ(t−tk ) Vi (tk , x ¯1 ), t ∈ [tk , tk+1 ).

Then, by supposing system (11) switches from subsystem j to i at switching instant tk , since σ(t) is continuous from the right, we have Vi (tk , x ¯1 ) ≤ µeλ(tk −tk−1 ) Vj (tk−1 , x ¯1 ) .

(26)

AC

Since tk − tk−1 ≤ τ2 , k = 1, 2, · · ·, which together with (14), we can obtain that µeλ(tk −tk−1 ) < 1.

(27)

 Thus, we can see Vi (tk , x ¯1 ) < Vj (tk−1 , x ¯1 ) . Then, for any ε > 0, we can choose k¯ x1 (t0 )k < δ (ε) = α2−1 e−λτ2 α1 (ε) . Thus, this yields V (t0 , x ¯1 ) ≤ α2 (k¯ x1 (t0 )k) < e−λτ2 α1 (ε). Since Vi (tk , x ¯1 ) is strictly decreasing, we have Vi (tk , x ¯1 ) ≤ −λτ2 e α1 (ε). Then, we have V (t, x ¯1 ) ≤ α1 (ε). Furthermore, from (20), we can conclude k¯ x1 (t)k < ε. Obviously, for ∀δ > 0, we have k¯ x1 (t)k < ε. Due to the fact that the sequence Vi (tk , x ¯1 ) , k = 0, 1, 2, . . . is strictly decreasing, we obtained that lim k¯ x1 (t)k = 0. Therefore, we can conclude switched system (11) is globally asymptotically stabilized t→∞

under switching law σ(t) ∈ T [τ1 , τ2 ].

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT It follows from (5) that x ¯2 (t) = −A−1 ¯1 (t), thus, x ¯2 (t) also global asymptotical stable. This indicates 22 (σ(t)) A21 (σ(t)) x that system (4), or equivalently, the system (1) is globally asymptotically stabilize under switching law σ(t) ∈ T [τ1 , τ2 ]. Thus, the proof is completed. Remark 1 Theorem 1 provides a sufficient condition to achieve the stabilization for a class of switched singular systems via dwell-time-based switchings. Our method does not require stability of each subsystem, which nontrivially generalizes the result of [21] obtained under the assumption that all or part of subsystems are stable. On the other hand, when Ei = I, ∀i ∈ M , the switched singular system deduces to the switched normal system in [18]. Therefore, our obtained result extends that of the switched normal system to the switched singular system case.

Remark 2 In our results, the common λ and µ are used to confine accordingly the upper bound of the dwell time τ2 . Since these two parameters may be dependent on individual subsystems, values of these two parameters can be different for different subsystems. It is therefore that here proposed methods appears less conservative and thus yield a better outcome design result. Case b: all subsystems are stable

AN US

It is well known that switching among stable systems may yield instability of the overall switched system. It is therefore that is necessary also to investigate this line of design derivation for the case where all subsystems of switched singular systems are stable. In particular, we have found that if the subsystems of switched singular linear system (1) are stable, then the condition on the upper bound of the dwell-time (i.e,τ2 in Theorem 1) can be removed. Thus, we have the following theorem. Theorem 2 Consider switched singular system (1) satisfying Assumption 1. If there exist constants τ1 > 0, λ > 0, 1 > µ > 0, µi > 1, i ∈ M , and positive definite matrices Pi1 > 0, Pi2 > 0, such that θilq + λPil ≤ 0, ∀i ∈ M, l, q = 1, 2, −µPj1 ΠTij Pi2

The proof is very similar to the proof of Theorem 1, and it can be easily derived by the methodology as above. Therefore, the proof of Theorem 2 is omitted in here. 4

Let x(t0 ) = (3, 4, −2, 14)T . Fig. 3 shows the state trajectories of the switched system under the dwell time switching signal σ(t) ∈ T [τ1 , τ2 ) shown in Fig. 4. Apparently Fig. 3 shows that the asymptotical stability of the switched system has been achieved rather quickly. Thus, the simulation results demonstrate pretty well the effectiveness of the proposed switching design method. Example 2

Now, we apply our Theorem 2 to the studied system, and it has been found that, when a = −2, there exist τ1 = 0.05s, λ = 10, µ1 = µ1 = 1.002, and P11 = [11.0254], P12 = [7.0712], P21 = [3.6752], P22 = [2.3893], such that (28), (29) and (30) hold. Thus, the studied switched singular system is asymptotically stable under switching law σ(t) ∈ T [0.05, ∞). When a = −2, the state response of the switched singular system and the corresponding switching signal are illustrated in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, respectively.

Remark 3 It can be seen that the dwell time 0.05 obtained by Theorem 2 is much smaller than the one 0.5493 in [21]. Thus, our obtained stability results are less conservative than the ones given in [21].

Conclusions

This paper has investigated the global stabilization problem of a class of switched singular linear systems via dwell-time switching mechanism without requiring stability of subsystems of the switched systems. In spite of the instability of individual subsystems, the stabilization of the switched system is achieved under the condition of confining the dwell time within an upper and lower bounds representing a relevant pair of bounds, which restrict the growth of Lyapunov function of the active subsystem. At the same time such switching law decreases the energy of the Lyapunov function of the overall switched system at switching instants. In addition, the multiple time-varying

Lyapunov functions method is also used to analyze the stability analysis of a class of switched linear singular systems with stable subsystems. A future research along the lines of the method proposed in this manuscript is envisaged in solving the finite-time on stabilization problem for the considered class of switched singular systems in order to improve the overall performance.
