A regulator design method is presented for switched bimodal linear systems, where it is desired to reject known disturbance signals and/or track known reference inputs. The switching in the bimodal system is defined by a switching surface. The regulator design approach consists of three steps. The first step is based on constructing a switched observer-based state feedback central controller fo...

In order to miniaturize a very low-level dc current amplifier and to speed up its output response speed, we proposed to employ the switched-capacitor circuit (SCC) as its negative feedback circuit, instead of the conventionally used high-ohmage resistor. However, in the case of using SCC, the output waveform had unnecessary components. To decrease the effect of these components and to speed up ...

In this thesis, we provide an initial investigation into bounds for topological entropy of switched linear systems. Entropy measures, roughly, the information needed to describe the behavior of a system with finite precision on finite time horizons, in the limit. After working out entropy computations in detail for the scalar switched case, we review the linear time-invariant nonscalar case, an...

In this paper, the problem of H∞ filtering for a class of discrete-time switched systems with unknown inputs is investigated. By using switched Lyapunov functionals, sufficient conditions for the solution of this problem are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Filtering is envisaged both with proportional and proportional integral observers. In addition, the results obtained...
