Abstract

The stabilization of switched linear systems with constrained inputs (SLSCI) is considered. The authors design admissible linear state feedbacks and the switching rule which has a minimal dwell time (MDT) to stabilized the system. First, for each subsystem with constrained inputs, a stabilizing linear state feedback and an invariant set of the closed-loop system are simultaneously constructed, such that the input constraints are satisfied if and only if the closed-loop system’s states lie inside this set. Then, by constructing a quadratic Lyapunov function for each closed-loop subsystem, an MDT is deduced and an MDT-based switching strategy is presented to ensure the stability of the switched system.
