A generalized approach for analysis and control of discrete-time piecewise affine and hybrid systems

Abstract

In this paper we investigate some analysis and control problems for discrete-time hybrid systems in the piece-wise affine form. By using arguments from the dissipativity theory for nonlinear systems, we show that H∞ analysis and synthesis problems can be formulated and solved via Linear Matrix Inequalities by taking into account the switching structure of the considered system. In this paper we address the generalized problem of controlling hybrid systems whose switching structure does not depend only on the state but also on the control input. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2001.
