Control of switched linear systems with input saturation

Abstract

The problem of control of switched linear systems with input saturation is considered. A synthesis method based on the minimum dwell time switching together with saturated feedbacks is presented. Sufficient conditions for stability are proposed in term of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example is presented to show the validity of the results.
