Niu, Ben; Zhao, Jun Tracking control for output-constrained nonlinear switched systems with a barrier Lyapunov function. (English) Zbl 1278.93142 Int. J. Syst. Sci. 44, No. 5, 978-985 (2013). Summary: This article focuses on the tracking control problem for switched nonlinear systems in strict-feedback form subject to an output constraint. In order to prevent transgression of the constraint, a barrier Lyapunov function is employed, which grows to infinity when its arguments approach domain boundaries. Under the simultaneous domination assumption, a continuous controller for the switched system is constructed. Furthermore, asymptotic tracking is achieved without violation of the constraint, and all closed-loop signals keep bounded, when a mild requirement on the initial condition is satisfied. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
