Quadratic Lyapunov functions for systems with state-dependent switching

In this paper, we consider the existence of quadratic Lyapunov functions for certain types of switched linear systems. Given a partition of the state-space, a set of matrices (linear dynamics), and a matrix-valued function A ( x ) constructed by associating these matrices with regions of the state-s...

Summary:In this paper, we consider the existence of quadratic Lyapunov functions for certain types of switched linear systems. Given a partition of the state-space, a set of matrices (linear dynamics), and a matrix-valued function A ( x ) constructed by associating these matrices with regions of the state-space in a manner governed by the partition, we ask whether there exists a positive definite symmetric matrix P such that A ( x ) T P + PA ( x ) is negative definite for all x ( t ) . For planar systems, necessary and sufficient conditions are given. Extensions for higher order systems are also presented.
