Exponential Stability of Fractional-Order Switched Systems With Mode-Dependent Impulses and Its Application

Abstract

Most exiting results for impulsive switched systems (ISSs) are mainly built on the synchronous switching and impulses case; however, the impulses can not only occur in switched interval including switched instants but also the switched signals may exist between two impulsive points in practical instants. Under asynchronous impulses and switching signals, the main objective of this article is to study the exponential stability of fractional-order hybrid systems. In order to better characterize stability, some novel criteria are presented by adopting the mode-dependent average impulsive interval and induction method. The obtained impulsive switched criteria lead to a tradeoff between fractional-order α and impulsive strength. Especially, the impulsive effects (positive or negative) with the order α are also discussed in detail, which extends the previous integer order results. Moreover, numerical examples are given to interpret and verify the effectiveness of the obtained criteria.
