Brief paper: feedback control for switched positive linear systems

This study investigates the feedback control for a class of switched positive linear systems (SPLSs). By means of the linear programming approach, output-feedback and state-feedback controllers for the underlying systems with average dwell time are designed, respectively. Under these controllers, the closed-loop systems are positive and asymptotically stable. These results obtained provide a way to solve the control synthesis problems of SPLSs by multiple linear copositive Lyapunov functions. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the validity of the present design.
