Abstract

Linear-Rate Multi-Mode Systems is a model that can be seen both as a subclass of switched linear systems with imposed global safety constraints and as hybrid automata with no guards on transitions. We study the existence and design of a controller for this model that keeps the state of the system within a given safe set for the whole time. A sufficient and necessary condition is given for such a controller to exist as well as an algorithm that finds one in polynomial time. We further generalise the model by adding costs on modes and present an algorithm that constructs a safe controller which minimises the peak cost, the average-cost or any cost expressed as a weighted sum of these two. Finally, we present numerical simulation results based on our implementation of these algorithms.
