Some results on the stabilization of switched systems

This paper deals with the stabilization of switched systems with respect to (w.r.t.) compact sets. We show that the switched system is stabilizable w.r.t. a compact set by means of a family of switched signals if and only if a certain control affine system whose admissible controls take values in a polytope is asymptotically controllable to that set. In addition we present a control algorithm that based on a family of open-loop controls which stabilizes the aforementioned control system, a model of the system and the states of the switched system, generates switching signals which stabilize the switched system in a practical sense. We also give results about the convergence and the robustness of the algorithm.
