Delay-independent stability for a class of switched nonlinear systems with time-varying delays

摘要

In this paper, we study the stability for a class of switched nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays. Under milder constraints on system matrices and delays, a delay-independent stability criterion for the switched nonlinear system is established, which generalizes the main results by Liu [24] and Sun [25]. The method used in this paper is different from those usual methods developed for positive systems. Finally, we extend the main result to a class of time-varying switched nonlinear systems with unbounded delays.
