Robust reliable control for uncertain switched neutral systems with time-varying mixed delays

This paper investigates the problem of robust reliable control for a class of uncertain switched neutral systems with time-varying discrete and distributed delays. First, a delay-dependent stability criterion for switched neutral system with time-varying mixed delays is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, a method for designing a state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system remains stable for uncertainties as well as actuator faults is presented. The average dwell time approach is utilized for the stability analysis and controller design, which guarantees that the corresponding system is exponentially stable. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the result.
