Reliable control for positive switched systems with random nonlinearities

This paper proposes a reliable control of positive switched systems with random nonlinearities which may induce the security problem of the systems. The random nonlinearities are governed by stochastic variables obeying the Bernoulli distribution. A switched linear copositive Lyapunov function is employed for the systems. Using a matrix decomposition approach, the gain matrix of controller is formulated by the sum of nonnegative and non-positive components. A reliable controller is designed for positive switched systems with actuator faults by virtue of linear programming. Under the designed reliable controller, the systems can resist some possible security risks triggered by random nonlinearities and actuator faults. The obtained approach is developed for systems subject to exogenous disturbances. Finally, two examples are provided to verify the validity of the obtained results.
