Continuous output-feedback control for a class of switched high-order planar systems and its application.

This paper deals with the problem of continuous output-feedback stabilization for a class of switched high-order planar systems under arbitrary switchings. Based on the common Lyapunov function design method, by using the adding a power integrator technique and designing an implementable observer, a continuous output-feedback controller is constructed such that the closed-loop system is global stabilization and the output can be regulated to the origin. As an application, the developed strategy is utilized to the control design for the continuous stirred tank reactor with two modes feed stream. The simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed design scheme. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
