Decentralized control of impulsive interconnected switched positive time-delay systems under MDMDT switching.

The paper addresses the issue of decentralized control with positivity constraint for impulsive interconnected switched positive systems (IISPSs) with mixed time-varying delays coexisting in the state term and the interconnection term under mode-dependent minimum dwell time (MDMDT) switching. Firstly, a positivity criterion of IISPSs is given from the aspect of sufficiency and necessity. Next, through adopting a new discretized linear copositive Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a sufficient stability criterion of IISPSs under MDMDT constraint is presented.
