Robust finite-Time control and reachable set estimation for uncertain switched neutral systems with time delays and input constraints

Abstract This work focuses on robust finite-time fault-tolerant control and reachable set estimation for uncertain switched neutral systems subject to time delays as well as input constraints. There are few attempts to investigate robust finite-time boundedness and reachable set estimation for uncertain switched neutral systems. At the same time, input-output finite-time stability is also investigated. Compared with the existing studies, this system has wider application. A dynamic output feedback nonlinear controller is researched. An augmented closed-loop system is provided. Moreover, the sufficient conditions of finite-time boundedness, reachable set estimation and input-output finite-time stability for the closed-loop system are obtained in the framework of linear matrix inequalities via piecewise Lyapunov function. Ultimately, two examples are provided to demonstrate this validity of this approach in this paper.
