Abstract

We address the fundamental problem of state feedback stabilization for a class of linear impulsive systems featuring arbitrarily-spaced impulse times and possibly singular state transition matrices. Specifically, we show that a strong reachability property enables a state feedback law to be constructed that yields a uniformly exponentially stable closed-loop system. The approach adopts a receding horizon strategy involving a weighted reachability gramian in a manner reminiscent of well-known results for time-varying linear systems for both continuous and discrete-time cases.
