Abstract

In this paper, the stability of switched linear systems is investigated using piecewise linear Lyapunov functions. Given a switched linear system, we present a systematic methodology for computing switching laws that guarantee stability based on the matrices of the system. We assume that each individual subsystem is stable and admits a piece-wise linear Lyapunov function. Based on these Lyapunov functions, we compose "global" Lyapunov functions that guarantee stability of the switched linear system. A large class of stabilizing switching sequences for switched linear systems is characterized by computing conic partitions of the state space. The approach is applied to both discrete-time and continuous-time switched linear systems.
