State estimation of Lipschitz continuous switched systems with unknownswitching signals

For Lipschitz continuous switched systems the problems of reconstructing the state of the system and of the switching signal are tackled assuming no knowledge of the switching signal, except its dwell time. To do so, algorithms to estimate the switching times and the current mode of the system, were developed that take into account the non-smoothness of the vector fields and the output map of the system. Although a specific state observer model was used in the simulations, the algorithm that reconstructs the switching signal runs irrespective of the state estimator selected.
