Abstract

For a continuous-time switched linear system, the spectral abscissa is defined as the worst-case divergence rate under arbitrary switching, which is critical for characterizing the asymptotic performance of the switched system. In this study, based on the generalized coordinate transformations approach, we develop a computational scheme that iteratively produces sequences of minimums of matrix set μ1 measures, where the limits of the sequences are upper bound estimates of the spectral abscissa. A simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
