This paper is concerned with the problem of robust reliable stabilization of switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delays and delayed switching is investigated. The parameter uncertainties are allowed to be norm-bounded. The switching instants of the controller experience delays with respect to those of the system. The purpose of this problem is to design a reliable state feedback controller such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties and actuator failure, the system state of the closed-loop system is exponentially stable. We show that the addressed problem can be solved by means of algebraic matrix inequalities. The explicit expression of the desired robust controllers is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities LMIs. 1. Introduction A switched system is composed of a family of continuous-time or discrete-time subsystems and a rule specifying the switching among them. Switched systems have received increasing attentions in the past few years, since many real-word systems such as mechanical systems, automotive industry, aircraft, and air traffic control systems, chemical processes can be modelled as switched systems see 1–3. A large number of results have been reported for such systems see 4–8. On the other hand, time delay systems have continuously been receiveing considerable attention over the past decades. The main reason is that many kinds of engineering systems, for instance, long-distance transportation systems, hydraulic pressure systems, network control systems, and so on, include time delay phenomena in their dynamics. Many valuable results have been obtained for switched systems with time delay see 9–15. On the other hand, the actuators may be subjected to failures in real practice, therefore, it is of practical 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering importance to design a control system which can tolerate faults of actuators. Several design approaches to the reliable controller have been proposed for linear and nonlinear systems see 16–19, and these results have been extended to switched systems see 20–22. Recently, the asynchronous switching control problem of switched systems has stirred renewed research interests, and a varity of switched systems have been investigated by different approaches 23–26. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the issue of reliable stabilization of switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delay under asynchronous switching has not been fully investigated, which motivated the present study. In this paper, we are interested in designing the robust reliable controller for uncertain switched nonlinear system with time-varying delays and delayed switching. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, problem formulation is presented and the failure model of actuator in switched system is introduced briefly. In addition, some necessary lemmas are given. In Section 3, based on the average dwell-time approach, controller design for switched nonlinear system with time-varying delays and delayed switching is developed, and sufficient conditions for the existence of the controller are formulated in terms of a set of matrix inequalities. Concluding remarks are given in Section 4. Notation. Throughout this paper, the superscript “T ” denotes the transpose, · denotes the Euclidean norm. λmax P and λmin P denote the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of matrix P , respectively, I is an identity matrix with appropriate dimension. diag{ai } denotes diagonal matrix with the diagonal elements ai , i 1, 2, . . . , n. The asterisk ∗ in a matrix is used to denote term that is induced by symmetry. The set of positive integers is represented by Z . 2. Problem Formulation and Preliminaries Consider the following uncertain nonlinear switched system with actuator fault σt xt A dσt x t − dσt t Bσt uf t fσt xt, t, ẋt A xt ϕt, t ∈ t0 − d, t0 , 2.1 where xt ∈ Rn is the state vector, uf t ∈ Rl is the control input of actuator fault, ϕt is a continuous vector-valued function. The function σt : t0 , ∞ → N {1, 2, . . . , N} is the switching signal which is deterministic, piecewise constant and right continuous, that is, σ : {t0 , σt0 , t1 , σt1 , . . .}, k ∈ Z , where t0 ≥ 0 is the initial time, and tk denotes the kth switching instant. dσt t denotes the time-varying state delay satisfying 0 < dσt t ≤ d, ḋσt t ≤ τ for constants d and τ. Moreover, σt i means that the ith subsystem is activated. N denotes the number of subsystems. fi xt, t i ∈ N are nonlinear functions satisfying fi xt, t ≤ Ui xt, where Ui are known real constant matrices. 2.2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3 di for i ∈ N are uncertain real-valued matrices with appropriate dimensions, and i, A A have the following form: i A di Ai Adi Hi Fi t E1i E2i , A 2.3 where Ai , Adi , Bi , H1i , E1i , E2i are known real constant matrices with proper dimensions, and H1i , E1i , E2i denote the structure of the uncertainties, Fi t are unknown time-varying matrices which satisfy FiT tFi t ≤ I. 2.4 The control input of actuator fault uf t can be described as 2.5 uf t Mσt ut, where ut Kσt xt is the switching controller which will be designed, Mi i ∈ N are the actuator fault matrices with the following form: Mi diag{mi1 , mi2 , . . . , mil }, 0 ≤ mik ≤ mik ≤ mik , mik ≥ 1, k 1, 2, . . . , l. 2.6 For simplicity, we introduce the following notation Mi0 diag{m i1 , m i2 , . . . , m il }, Ji diag ji1 , ji2 , . . . , jil , Li diag{li1 , li2 , . . . , lil }, 2.7 ik /m ik . where m ik 1/2mik mik , jik mik − mik /mik mik , lik mik − m From 2.6-2.7, we have Mi Mi0 I Li , |Li | ≤ Ji ≤ I, 2.8 where |Li | diag{|li1 |, |li2 |, . . . , |lil |}. Remark 2.1. mik 1 means normal operation of the kth actuator signal of the ith subsystem. When mik 0, it covers the case of the complete failure of the kth actuator signal of the ith 1, it corresponds to the case of partial failure of the kth subsystem. When mik > 0 and mik / actuator signal of the ith subsystem. The delayed switching of the controller can be shown in Figure 1. We can see from Figure 1 that the controller Ki operates the ith subsystem in tk−1 Δk−1 , tk , and operates the jth subsystem in tk , tk Δk . 4 Mathematical Problems in Engineering Subsystem i Subsystem j The switching of the system Controller Ki The switching of the controller tk−1 Δk−1 Controller Ki tk Controller Kj tk Δ k tk1 Figure 1: Diagram of the delayed switching. Let σ t denote the switching signal of the controller, the switching instants of the controller can be described as t1 Δ1 , t2 Δ2 , . . . , tk Δk , . . . , k ∈ Z , 2.9 where Δk < infk∈Z tk1 −tk , Δk represents the delayed period, and it is said to be mismatched period. Remark 2.2. Mismatched period Δk < infk∈Z tk1 − tk guarantees that there always exists a period that the controller and the system operate synchronously, and this period is said to be matched period in the later section. Due to the delayed switching, the real input of actuator fault can be written as uf t Mσ t Kσ t xt. 2.10 Under switching controller 2.10, the resulting closed-loop system is given by ẋt Aσt Bσt Mσ t Kσ t xt Adσt x t − dσt t fσt xt, t, xt ϕt, t ∈ t0 − d, t0 . 2.11 System 2.1 without uncertainties and actuator fault can be written as ẋt Aσt xt Adσt x t − dσt t Bσt ut fσt xt, t, xt ϕt, t ∈ t0 − d, t0 . 2.12 Definition 2.3 see 13. If there exists switching signal σt, such that the trajectory of system 2.1 satisfies xt ≤ αxt0 h e−βt−t0 , then system 2.1 is said to be exponentially stable with convergent rate β, where α ≥ 1, β > 0, t ≥ t0 , xth sup−d≤θ≤0 {xt θ, ẋt θ}. Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5 Definition 2.4 see 27. For any T2 > T1 ≥ 0, let Nσ T1 , T2 denote the switching number of σt on an interval T1 , T2 . If Nσ T1 , T2 ≤ N0 T2 − T1 τa 2.13 hold for given N0 ≥ 0, τa > 0, then the constant τa is called the average dwell time and N0 is the chatter bound. The following lemmas play an important role in the later development. Lemma 2.5 see 28. For given vectors a, b and the positive matrix X > 0, there exists the matrix M with appropriate dimension, such that T a X XM a . −2a b ≤ inf MT X MT X I X −1 XM I b b X>0,M T 2.14 Lemma 2.6 see 29. For matrices X, Y of appropriate dimension and Q > 0, we have X T Y Y T X ≤ X T QX Y T Q−1 Y. 2.15 Lemma 2.7 see 30. Let U, V, W, and X be real matrices of appropriate dimensions with X satisfying X X T , then for all V T V ≤ I, X UV W W T V T UT < 0 2.16 if and only if there exists a scalar ε > 0 such that X εUUT ε−1 W T W < 0. 2.17 Lemma 2.8 see 31. For matrices R1 , R2 with appropriate dimension, there exists a positive scalar β > 0, such that R1 ΣtR2 RT2 ΣT tRT1 ≤ βR1 URT1 β−1 RT2 UR2 2.18 hold, where Σt is time-varying diagonal matrix, U is known real-value matrix satisfying |Σt| ≤ U. The objective of this paper is to design a reliable controller for system 2.1 with delayed switching such that the resulting closed-loop system is robust exponentially stable. 6 Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3.

The proof is completed. Remark 3.4. When μ1 μ2 1, we have τa∗ 0, which implies that switching signals can be arbitrary. 3.3.

By Lemma 2.7, Lemma 2.8, and Schur complement lemma, we know that 3.49 is equivalent to 3.45. Similarly, substituting 2.3 into 3.50, we can obtain that 3.50 is equivalent to 3.46. From Theorem 3.3, we know that Theorem 3.5 holds. The proof is completed. Remark 3.6. In actual operation, the condition 3.27 or 3.47 is difficult to check. Let Δmax be a known positive scalar that represents the maximum delayed period, a simple condition of the average dwell time is proposed, that is to say, 3.27 or 3.47 can be reduced to the following condition: τa > τa∗ ln μ1 μ2 β λ∗ max , 1 Δmax , λ∗ α − λ∗ 0 < λ∗ < α. 3.54 Mathematical Problems in Engineering 19 Proof of 3.54: According to 3.27, we have T − t0 , t β λ∗ t − t0 − T t0 , t β λ∗ ≥ ≥ ⇒ T t0 , t α − λ∗ T t0 , t α − λ∗ ⇒ t − t0 ≥ β λ∗ T t0 , t T t0 , t α − λ∗ ⇒ t − t0 ≥ 3.55 β λ∗ 1 T t0 , t. α − λ∗ On the other hand β λ∗ β λ∗ 1 T , t ≤ 1 Nσt t0 , tΔmax t 0 α − λ∗ α − λ∗ ≤ β λ∗ t − t0 1 Δmax . ∗ α−λ τa∗ 3.56 Obviously, if the following inequality 3.57 is satisfied, then we have that 3.55 holds t − t0 ≥ β λ∗ t − t0 1 Δmax . ∗ α−λ τa∗ 3.57 From 3.57, we have τa∗ ≥ β λ∗ /α − λ∗ 1Δmax . The proof is completed. 4. Conclusion In this paper, we have investigated the robust reliable stabilization problem for switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delays and delayed switching. The average dwell-time approach is utilized for stability analysis and controller design. Our future work will focus on extending the proposed design method to H∞ performance analysis for switched nonlinear time-varying systems with delayed switching.
