H∞ static output feedback control for discrete-time switched linear systems with average dwell time

This study investigates the problem of H _∞ static output feedback (SOF) control for discrete-time switched linear systems with average dwell time. By the aid of multiple Lyapunov functions combined with Finsler´s lemma, a switched SOF controller is designed such that the closed-loop switched system is exponentially stable and achieves a weighted L ₂-gain. Sufficient conditions for SOF control are derived and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The minimal average dwell time and the corresponding SOF controller are obtained from the LMI conditions for a given system decay degree. The proposed method is less conservative than the existing ones, which is validated by a numerical example.
