Abstract

The stability analysis and anti-windup design problem is investigated for two linear switched systems with saturating actuators by using the single Lyapunov function approach. Our purpose is to design a switching law and the anti-windup compensation gains such that the maximizing estimation of the domain of attraction is obtained for the closed-loop system in the presence of saturation. Firstly, some sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability are obtained under given anti-windup compensation gains based on the single Lyapunov function method. Then, the anti-windup compensation gains as design variables are presented by solving a convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints. Two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
