Stability analysis of impulsive delayed switched systems and applications

In this paper, a general class of impulsive delayed switched systems is considered. By employing the LyapunovRazumikhin method and some analysis techniques, we established several global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability criteria for the considered impulsive delayed switched systems, which improve and extend some recent works. As an application, the result of global exponential stability are used to study a class of uncertain linear switched systems with time-varying delays. Several LMI-based conditions are proposed to guarantee the global robust stability and global exponential stabilization. The designed memoryless state feedback controller can be easily checked by the LMI toolbox in Matlab. Moreover, the dwell time constraint is imposed for the switching law. Finally, two numerical examples and their simulations are given to show the effectiveness of our proposed results. Copyright (c) 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
