State Bumpless Transfer Control for a Class of Switched Descriptor Systems

Abstract

This paper studies stability for a class of switched descriptor systems with state bumpless transfer performance and input bumpless transfer performance. Since the state jump is inevitable for switched descriptor systems when a switching occurs, to restrain the amplitude of the state jump induced by switchings, for the first time, the state bumpless transfer performance of switched descriptor systems is defined. Moreover, when switching occurs, to avoid the abrupt and large control input signals change damaging the system, we are the first to introduce the input bumpless transfer control scheme for switched descriptor systems. Furthermore, by using multiple Lyapunov functions, a sufficient condition is put forward to make sure the state bumpless transfer performance, input bumpless transfer performance and asymptotical stability for the closed-loop systems. Meanwhile, the switching rule and the state feedback controller are co-designed. In the end, a multiple inputs numerical example and an application on the DC motor model are used to exhibit the merit and validity of the presented control scheme.
