Many problems with control theory have led to investigations into switched systems. One of the most urgent problems related to the analysis of the dynamics of switched systems is the stability problem. The stability of a switched system can be ensured by a common Lyapunov function for all switching modes under an arbitrary switching law. Finding a common Lyapunov function is still an interesting and challenging problem. The purpose of the present paper is to prove the stability of equilibrium in a certain class of nonlinear switched systems by introducing a common Lyapunov function; the Lyapunov function is based on generalized Kullback–Leibler divergence or Csiszár'sI-divergence between the state and equilibrium. The switched system is useful for finding positive solutions to linear algebraic equations, which minimize theI-divergence measure under arbitrary switching. One application of the stability of a given switched system is in developing a new approach to reconstructing tomographic images, but nonetheless, the presented results can be used in numerous other areas.

This paper discusses partial state constraint adaptive tracking control problem of switched nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters. In order to ensure boundedness of the outputs and prevent the states from violating the constraints, a barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) is employed. Based on backstepping method, an adaptive controller for the switched system is designed. Furthermore, the state-constrained asymptotic tracking under arbitrary switching is performed. The closed-loop signals keep bounded when the initial states and control parameters are given. Finally, examples and simulation results are reported to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

The stability of autonomous dynamical switched systems is analyzed by means of multiple Lyapunov functions. The stability theorems given in this paper have finite number of conditions to check. It is shown that linear functions can be used as Lyapunov functions. An example of an exponentially asymptotically stable switched system formed by four unstable systems is also given.

Abstract The study of properties of switched and hybrid systems gives rise to a number of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. This paper aims to briefly survey recent results on stability and controllability of switched linear systems. First, the stability analysis for switched systems is reviewed. We focus on the stability analysis for switched linear systems under arbitrary switching, and we highlight necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability. After that, we review the controllability results.

Linearized theory is used to study the unsteady flow in a supersonic cascade with in-passage shock waves. We use the Wiener–Hopf technique to obtain a closed-form analytical solution for the supersonic region. To obtain a solution for the rotational flow in the subsonic region we must solve an infinite set of linear algebraic equations. The analysis shows that it is possible to correlate quantitatively the oscillatory shock motion with the Kutta condition at the trailing edges of the blades. This feature allows us to account for the effect of shock motion on the stability of the cascade.Unlike the theory for a completely supersonic flow, the present study predicts the occurrence of supersonic bending flutter. It therefore provides a possible explanation for the bending flutter that has recently been detected in aircraft-engine compressors at higher blade loadings.

This chapter focuses on the stability analysis problem for a class of continuous-time switched time-delay systems modelled by delay differential equations under arbitrary switching. Then, a transformation under the arrow form is employed. Indeed, by using a constructed Lyapunov function, the aggregation techniques, the Kotelyanski lemma associated with the M-matrix properties, new delay-dependent sufficient stability conditions are derived. The obtained results provide a solution to one of the basic problems in continuous-time switched time-delay systems. This problem ensures asymptotic stability of the switched time-delay system under arbitrary switching signals. In addition, these stability conditions are extended to be generalized for switched systems with multiple delays. Noted that, these obtained results are explicit, simple to use, and allow us to avoid the problem of searching a common Lyapunov function. Finally, two examples are provided, with numerical simulations, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

В пространстве кубических сплайнов построены вейвлеты, удовлетворяющие однородным граничным условиям Дирихле и обнулению первых четырех моментов. Получены неявные соотношения, связывающие сплайн-коэффициенты разложения на начальном уровне со сплайн-коэффициентами и вейвлет-коэффициентами на вложенном уровне ленточной системой линейных алгебраических уравнений с невырожденной матрицей. После расщепления на четные и нечетные уравнения матрица преобразования имеет пять (вместо трех в случае двух нулевых моментов) диагоналей. Доказано наличие строгого диагонального доминирования по столбцам. Для сравнения использованы вейвлеты с двумя нулевыми моментами и интерполяционные кубические сплайновые вейвлеты. Результаты численных экспериментов показывают, что схема с четырьмя нулевыми моментами точнее при аппроксимации функций, но грубее при аппроксимации второй производной. The article examines the problem of constructing a splitting algorithm for cubic spline wavelets. First, a cubic spline space is constructed for splines with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Then, using the first four zero moments, the corresponding wavelet space is constructed. The resulting space consists of cubic spline wavelets that satisfy the orthogonality conditions for all thirddegree polynomials. The originality of the research lies in obtaining implicit relations connecting the coefficients of the spline expansion at the initial level with the spline coefficients and wavelet coefficients at the embedded level by a band system of linear algebraic equations with a nondegenerate matrix. Excluding the even rows of the system, the resulting transformation algorithm is obtained as a solution to a sequence of band systems of linear algebraic equations with five (instead of three in the case of two zero moments) diagonals. The presence of strict diagonal dominance over the columns is proved, which confirms the stability of the computational process. For comparison, we adopt the results of calculations using wavelets orthogonal to first-degree polynomials and interpolating cubic spline wavelets with the property of the best mean-square approximation of the second derivative of the function being approximated. The results of numerical experiments show that the scheme with four zero moments is more accurate in the approximation of functions, but becomes inferior in accuracy to the approximation of the second derivative.
