Finite-time boundedness of switched linear systems via periodically intermittent control

This paper focuses on finite-time boundedness problem of switched linear systems under periodically intermittent control. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee finite-time boundedness or finite-time stability of switched linear systems under periodically intermittent control. The proof procedures are implemented successfully resorting to piecewise Lyapunov functions. Based on the linear matrix inequality technique, the conditions are casted into a convex optimisation problem and therefore, they can be efficiently handled. The method proposed in this paper is a much potentially useful one in practice because of its economical and efficient nature that is easy to employ. Finally, two examples are given to express the validity and efficiency of the proposed methods.
