Linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) and its applications in different industries have been an interesting research topic for the past few years. LSRMs proved to be a suitable alternative variety of requiring linear motion. However, use is not that popular which instigated active interest evolution newer LSRM configurations. Enhancement propulsion force along with reduction ripples, weight, ...

We consider a number of questions pertaining to the stability of positive switched linear systems. Recent results on common quadratic, diagonal, and copositive Lyapunov function existence are reviewed and their connection to the stability properties of switched positive linear systems is highlighted. We also generalise the concept of D-stability to positive switched linear systems and present s...

We study the stability of an equilibrium arbitrarily switched, autonomous, continuous-time systems through computation a common Lyapunov function (CLF). The switching occurs between finite number individual subsystems, each which is assumed to be linear. present linear programming (LP) based approach compute continuous and piecewise affine (CPA) CLF compare this with different methods in litera...

In this paper, observers are synthesized for switched linear systems, resulting in switched observers including state jumps. The synthesis problem is formulated as a linear matrix inequality problem. By using multiple Lyapunov functions, a switched state jump observer is designed for a broader class of switched systems than earlier proposed in the literature. Copyright c © 2005 IFAC

We address the invertibility problem for switched systems, which is the problem of recovering the switching signal and the input uniquely given an output and an initial state. In the context of hybrid systems, this corresponds to recovering the discrete state and the input from partial measurements of the continuous state. In solving the invertibility problem, we introduce the concept of singul...

We consider equivalence relation between switched linear systems and compute the dimension of equivalence classes, after proving they can be obtained as the orbits of the action of a Lie group on the differentiable manifold of matrices defining the subsystems the system consists of and deduce miniversal deformations.

Dynamic modeling and control of dc-dc series resonant converter (SRC) especially when operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is still a challenge in power electronics. Due to semiconductors switching, SRC is naturally represented as a switched linear system, a class of hybrid systems. Nevertheless, the hybrid nature of the SRC is commonly neglected and it is modeled as a purely contin...

In switched dynamic system the continuous phase ow is accompanied by a stream of switching events. If the system exhibits chaotic behavior this event stream can be used for generating a rectangular wave with chaotic switching times. In this paper the probability distribution of the intervals between the switching times is derived. Two system di erent in their continuous state model are treated:...
