Abstract

This paper addresses the stabilization for a class of discrete-time positive switched systems. Based on the average dwell time switching strategy, the stabilization of the underlying systems in the autonomous form is studied. Further, the control synthesis of non-autonomous systems is discussed. The state-feedback and output-feedback controllers are constructed, respectively. All the present conditions are solvable in terms of linear programming. Finally, four simulation examples illustrate the validity of the design.
