Abstract

This paper investigates the finite-time stability problem for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems with impulse effects. Based on the average dwell time approach, a sufficient condition is established which ensures that the state trajectory of the system remains in a bounded region of the state space over a pre-specified finite time interval. Different from the traditional condition for asymptotic stability of switched systems, it is shown that the total activation time of unstable subsystems can be greater than that of stable subsystems. Moreover, the finite-time stability degree can also be greater than one. Two examples are given to illustrate the merit of the proposed method.
