Observer‐based tracking control for switched stochastic systems based on a hybrid 2‐D model

Abstract

SummaryThis paper is concerned with the observer‐based output tracking problem for a class of linear switched stochastic systems with time delay and disturbance by using repetitive control approach. More precisely, a two‐dimensional hybrid model is incorporated to obtain and optimize the repetitive controller. In particular, the repetitive controller is used to improve the tracking performance through its continuous learning actions. In addition, an equivalent‐input‐disturbance estimator is incorporated into the repetitive control design approach to reduce the effect of the external disturbances. The main aim of the control design is to track the periodic reference signal with the measured output of the system under consideration even in the presence of an unknown bounded disturbance. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and using average dwell time approach and Jensen inequality, sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities to guarantee the mean‐square exponential stability of the considered system. Eventually, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.
