Dead-Beat Stabilizability of Discrete-Time Switched Linear Systems: Algorithms and Applications.

This paper deals with the dead-beat stabilizability of autonomous discrete-time switched linear systems. Based on a constructive necessary and sufficient condition for dead-beat stabilizability, we propose two algorithms. The first one is concerned with the problem of testing dead-beat stabilizability and computing the shorter stabilizing mode sequence, whenever it exists. The other one implements a method to construct a switched system whose shorter dead-beat stabilizing sequence has a prescribed length. Then, we present numerical assessments and possible applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
