switchedsystem
A switched system, sometimes written as switched-system, is a dynamical system that can switch between a finite set of subsystems according to a switching signal. In continuous time, its state evolves according to x_dot = A_sigma(t) x + B_sigma(t) u, where sigma(t) selects one mode i from a finite index set. Each mode i has its own matrices (A_i, B_i, C_i, D_i, …). The switching signal can be time-driven, state-driven, or event-driven, and may be subject to constraints such as a minimum dwell time to limit rapid switching.
Stability and analysis for switched systems depend on both the individual subsystem dynamics and the switching
Control design for switched systems aims to ensure stability or specified performance under switching. Techniques include
Applications are found in power electronics, automotive control, robotics, networked control systems, and process automation, where
