On the Existence and Construction of Common Lyapunov Functions for Switched Discrete Systems

Abstract

Under consideration is the problem of stability of switched discrete systems with the generalized homogeneous right-hand sides. The conditions are obtained for the existence of the common Lyapunov function, and a method for its construction is proposed in the form of a combination of the partial Lyapunov functions obtained for isolated subsystems. For a special case of linear three-dimensional systems, some algorithms are proposed for constructing common Lyapunov functions as quadratic and fourth degree forms. Some examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
