Sampled-data-based stabilization of switched linear neutral systems.

With the development of digital control technology, sampled-data control shows its prominent superiority for most practical industries. In the framework of sampled-data control, this paper studies the stabilization problem for a class of switched linear neutral systems meanwhile taking into account asynchronous switching. By utilizing the relationship between the sampling period and the dwell time of switched neutral systems, a bond between the sampling period and the average dwell time is revealed to form a switching condition, under which and certain control gains conditions exponential stability of the closed-loop systems is guaranteed. A simple example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
