ABSTRACT
Switched linear systems are simplest hybrid dynamical systems with powerful modelling/control capabilities. In this talk, we introduce the path-wise state-feedback switching approach, and the extended methods for improving the asymptotic/transient performance of switched systems. Theoretical/practical applications to safety-critical optimization and MEMS micromirror will also be briefly discussed.
BIO
Zhendong Sun obtained the BS degree in Applied Mathematics at the Ocean University of China in 1990, the MS in Cybernetics and Operational Research at Xiamen University in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1996. He had been Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Tsinghua University; Associate Professor with Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics; Senior Research Fellow with National University of Ireland, Maynooth; Professor with South China University of Technology; and Researcher with the Academy of Mathematics & Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Currently he is with the College of Electrical Engineering & Automation, Shandong University of Science & Technology, as a Professor.
Professor Sun’s current research interests are in the fields of switched and hybrid systems, nonlinear control systems, and applications to MEMS sensor devices. He is author of two monographs on switched systems. He served as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Subject Editor of International Journal of Robust & Nonlinear Control.
