Quantized Output Feedback Stabilization of Switched Linear Systems

Abstract

This paper studies the problem of stabilizing a continuous-time switched linear system by quantized output feedback. We assume that the quantized outputs and the switching signal are available to the controller at all time. We develop an encoding strategy by using multiple Lyapunov functions and an average dwell time property. The encoding strategy is based on the results in the case of a single mode, and it requires an additional adjustment of the "zoom" parameter at every switching time.
