Sampled‐data stabilization for switched nonlinear systems under state‐dependent switching signal

Abstract

Abstract In this article, a new sampled‐data stabilization scheme is proposed for switched nonlinear systems in which all subsystems may be unstabilizable. A state‐dependent switching condition is derived and a controller is constructed by using only sampled information. It is proven that the closed‐loop system is asymptotically stable under the developed state‐dependent switching strategy. Finally, the proposed scheme is applied to a switched induction heater circuit system and a numerical example is provided to verify its effectiveness.
