Abstract
For switched linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with possible actuator failures, the parameter-dependent multiple piecewise Lyapunov function is constructed to handle the <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_\infty$</tex-math></inline-formula> bumpless transfer fault-tolerant control problem. First, a generalized bumpless transfer concept is presented for switched LPV systems to describe the transient performance, for which only the local bumpless transfer condition is required. Second, an event-triggered switching law, depending on the system states, external parameters, and dwell time, is designed to ensure a time span among adjacent switchings. Third, a solvability condition of the <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H_\infty$</tex-math></inline-formula> bumpless transfer fault-tolerant control problem is developed. A family of time-driven switching controllers with bumpless transfer constraint and fault-tolerant requirement are also designed. Finally, an application example of an aero-engine is given to verify the effectiveness of the developed methods.
