Robust stability analysis of discrete-time systems with parametric and switching uncertainties

Abstract

Robust stability analysis is investigated for discrete-time linear systems with rational dependency with respect to polytopic type uncertainties. Two type of uncertainties are considered: constant parametric uncertainties and time-varying switching uncertainties. Results are in LMI formalism and proofs involve parameter-dependent, quadratic in the state, Lyapunov functions. The new proposed conditions are shown to extend and merge two important existing results. Conservatism reduction is tackled via a model augmentation technique. Numerical complexity is contained by exploiting the structure of the models with respect to the uncertainties.
