Realization theory of discrete-time linear switched systems

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The paper presents realization theory of discrete-time linear switched systems. A discrete-time linear switched system is a hybrid system, such that the continuous sub-system associated with each discrete state is linear. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for an input-output map to admit a discrete-time linear switched state-space realization. The conditions are formulated as finite rank conditions of a generalized Hankel-matrix. In addition, we present a characterization of minimality of discrete-time linear switched systems in terms of reachability and observable.Further, we prove that minimal realizations are unique up to isomorphism. We also discuss procedures for converting a linear switched system to a minimal one and we present an algorithm for constructing a state-space representation from input-output data.The paper uses the theory rational formal power series in non-commutative variables. The latter theory was successfully applied to bilinear and state-affine systems in the past.
