Dissipativity and feedback passivation for switched discrete-time nonlinear systems

This paper studies dissipativity for switched discrete-time nonlinear systems using multiple storage functions and multiple supply rates. A sufficient condition for dissipativity of the switched nonlinear system is given under some switching law. Then, the result is extended to find a condition under which a switched system is feedback equivalent to a passive switched system. Switched passivity condition and switched l(2)-gain inequalities are, respectively, given, which are generalizations of the classical ones. Furthermore, the assumption of zero dynamics having passivity is relaxed. Passivity is also shown to be preserved under feedback interconnection. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
