Stability Analysis of Sampled-Data Systems via Free-Matrix-Based Time-Dependent Discontinuous Lyapunov Approach

Abstract

In this paper, a new time-dependent discontinuous Lyapunov functional, namely, free-matrix-based time-dependent discontinuous (FMBTDD) Lyapunov functional is introduced for stability analysis of sampled-data systems. First, a modified free-matrix-based integral inequality (MFMBII) is derived based on the existing free-matrix-based integral inequality [1] and it is applied to develop a stability criterion for sampled-data systems. And then, inspired by MFMBII, FMBTDD term is established that leads to efficient stability conditions. Four numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
