Output Feedback Control of Switched Nonlinear Systems: A Gain Scheduling Approach

Switched controller design for nonlinear continuous and discrete-time systems under an arbitrary switching signal using the gain scheduling approach is addressed in this paper. The obtained controller design procedures for continuous and discrete-time systems are in the bilinear matrix inequality form. The proposed design procedure ensures multi parameter-dependent quadratic stability of the switched gain scheduled plant which is associative to a nonlinear plant model and optimal performance defined by quadratic gain scheduled parameters weighting cost function. Example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
