A
periodically switched linear system is a system that consists of a set of
linear time invariant subsystems and a periodic switching rule that describes
switching among these subsystems. Several physical systems, such as sampled
data control systems, switch mode power supplies, switched capacitor filters
and switching amplifiers, can be modelled as periodically switched linear
systems. In this talk, analysis, design and application of periodically
switched linear systems will be discussed. In particular, stability and optimal
control of periodically switched linear systems will be addressed. It will also
be shown that periodic switching can be used to reduce the hardware requirement
of a control system, such as power amplifiers or data acquisition channels or
both, and thereby, reducing its
cost, size and weight. The results will be illustrated by several applications.
