Frequency-Domain Stability Conditions for Discrete-Time Switched Systems

Resumo

We consider discrete-time switched systems with switching of linear time-invariant right-hand parts. The notion of a connected discrete switched system is introduced. For systems with the connectedness property, we propose necessary and sufficient frequency-domain conditions for the existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function that provides the stability for a system under arbitrary switching. The set of connected switched systems contains discrete control systems with several time-varying nonlinearities from the finite sectors, considered in the theory of absolute stability. We consider the case of switching between three linear subsystems in more details and give an illustrative example.
