Output strict passification of networked switched linear systems

In this paper, a networked switched linear control system, as a special case of networked control systems, is studied. Similar to the networked control systems, such a networked switched system is also with the network-induced delays and packet dropout constraints. How to design the switching rule depending on the network-induced constraints to make the closed-loop system output strictly passive (OSP) is our contribution. Using the descriptor system method, we convert the networked switched system into a switched time-varying delay system. Sufficient conditions for output strict passification of the system are derived under some switching rule. The proposed switching rule can achieve the output strict passivity of the networked switched linear systems whose all the subsystems are allowed to be output strictly non-passive. Finite-gain L2 stability and exponential stability can be guaranteed combined OSP and zero-state detectable.
