In this paper, the stability problem of discrete-time switched nonlinear systems with all subsystems unstable is investigated. The nonlinear subsystems are represented by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. By constructing a novel piecewise multiple Lyapunov function approach, an exponential stability condition of switched T-S fuzzy systems is first established with the bounded maximum average dwell time. A numerical example is finally provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.INDEX TERMS Discrete-time switched nonlinear systems, Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models, bounded maximum average dwell time (BMADT), piecewise multiple Lyapunov function (PMLF).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
