Abstract

In this paper the problem of controlling nonlinear
switched systems over a network with time-varying delay is addressed.
The solution presented is an extension of results from the
control of continuously-varying passive systems over a network
using the wave variable transformation. Background material
is presented on passivity and the wave variable transformation.
The concept of passivity for switched systems is also covered in
this paper. Stability results are then shown for passive switched
systems connected over a network with time-varying delay.
