Reliable control for a class of switched systems with dwell time considerations against sensor faults

This paper deals with the problem of reliable control against sensor faults for a class of switched systems with dwell time constraints. The control of dwell times of subsystems is one of the most important ways to achieve stability of switched systems. Two situations are considered: first, the dwell times of subsystems can be controlled and no minimum values of them are required; second, the minimum values of the dwell times are required. The resulting closed-loop switched system is exponentially stable under switching signals with minimum dwell time. Simulation examples show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
