Abstract
In this paper, the non-weighted L2-gain control problem is addressed for a class of asynchronously switched linear systems, where the asynchronous phenomenon is caused by the mode-identifying process. Unlike the literature concerned with asynchronously switched systems, we construct a new class of clock-dependent Lyapunov function (CDLF), which can be permitted or prohibited to increase when the modes of the controller and system are unmatched. Furthermore, a novel controller design strategy is introduced. The asynchronous and synchronous controllers are designed separately, and are both clock-dependent. By using the CDLF approach, a clock-dependent sufficient condition characterizing the non-weighted L2-gain performance is obtained for the asynchronously switched systems. The controller gains can be computed by solving a set of sum of square (SOS) program. At last, the advantages of the results are illustrated within two examples.
