The passivity-based stabilization of switched nonlinear systems under asynchronous switching

In this paper, we address the stabilization issue of switched nonlinear systems with passive and non-passive subsystems in which the controllers are switched asynchronously with the switching of system modes. For any given average dwell time, any given passivity rate, and any admissible switching delay, we design feedback mode-dependent controllers of subsystems to achieve exponential stabilization. An example is provided to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
