Stabilization of Positive Switched Linear Systems and Its Application in Consensus of Multiagent Systems
In this note, we study the stabilization problem of positive switched linear system (PSLS) with disturbance. By introducing a class of weak common linear copositive Lyapunov functions, we design time-dependent switching rules under which the system is asymptotically stable. Both continuous-time and discrete-time PSLS are taken into consideration, and the obtained results are also extended to nonpositive switched systems. Finally, the theoretical results are applied to consensus problem of multiagent systems with switching topologies and disturbance.
