A notion of passivity for switched systems with state-dependent switching

A passivity concept for switched systems with state-dependent switching is presented. Each subsystem has a storage function to describe the “energy” stored in the subsystem. The passivity property of a switched system is given in terms of multiple storage functions. Each storage function is allowed to grow on the “switched on” time sequence but the total growth is bounded by a certain function. Stability is inferred from passivity and asymptotic stability is achieved under further assumptions of a detectivity property of a local form and boundedness of the total change of some storage function on its inactive intervals. A state-dependent switching law that renders the system passive is also designed.
