Abstract
By using a weighted average dwell time approach, the finite-region stability and stabilization problems are investigated for a class of two-dimensional switched systems with actuator saturation in the Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space model. Firstly, we analyze the finite-region stability of the system studied by introducing the weighted average dwell time approach for the first time. Secondly, the classical state feedback control method is introduced to the system. Based on the established conditions, sufficient criteria are derived to ensure the resulting closed-loop system is finite-region-stable. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the provided design approach.

1. Introduction
Two-dimensional (2-D) systems whose states depend on two independent variables, which play an important role in air drying, seismographic data processing, digital signal processing, and so on [,], have attracted the attention of many scholars over the past decade. Many essential results of 2-D switched systems have been proposed such as stability analysis [,,,], control [], dissipative control [,,,], filtering problems [,], and fault detection problems []. Notably, 2-D switched systems can described by the Roesser model [], the Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space (FMLSS) model [], and others. In particular, the Roesser model can be transformed into the FMLSS model. In recent years, some prominent progress has been made in the study of 2-D system stability analysis and controller design. The common methods for analyzing the stability of 2-D switched systems are the average dwell time (ADT) method [,,] and the mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) method [,]. However, ADT and MDADT methods are two extremes and have their advantages and disadvantages. The former considers the compensation effect between subsystems without considering the differences between them, while the latter considers the differences between subsystems but neglects the compensation effect between them. The weighted average dwell time (WADT) switching technique [] provides a more flexible method in practice, in which both the differences and compensation effects between subsystems can be considered simultaneously by selecting appropriate weighting coefficients. It is worth noting that for 2-D switched systems, although there have been many studies on Lyapunov asymptotic stability (LAS), there is limited research to analyze finite-region stability (FRS). That is one of the main motivations for the current work.
Due to the existence of hard limitations, actuator saturation is a quite common and inherent phenomenon in the control of many physical systems. The actuator saturation may degrade the system performance, and even lead to system instability. Hence, it is worth noting that from the perspective of practical applications, actuator saturation should be taken into account due to physical, technical, and safety constraints, which usually leads to nonlinear behavior, so it is necessary to discuss the stability of actuator-saturated systems. Therefore, considering actuator saturation in the stabilization of 2-D FMLSS switched systems is a more practical technique. The analyses of Lyapunov stability, finite-time stability, and FRS play an essential role. In recent years, the finite-time stability and stabilization of one-dimensional switched systems have attracted widespread attention [,]. The FRS of 2-D switched systems is an extension of the finite-time stability of one-dimension switched systems. Unfortunately, there are few existing studies on the FRS of 2-D switched systems. The concept of FRS and finite-region boundedness (FRB) was initially introduced in [,] for 2-D systems. In [], the authors studied the FRS and FRB of 2-D systems based on the Roesser model, but they did not consider system switching. Subsequently, research on FRS and finite-region dissipativity, along with finite-region dissipative control with missing measurements, has been explored for 2-D systems in studies such as [,]. Recently, the novel problems of (input–output) FRS have been first discussed in [], and the positivity characteristic and the saturation constraint, as well as the switched mechanism, have been taken into account in []. In this article, we consider the FRS of 2-D systems affected by switching signals, and it is based on the FMLSS model, which is more general than the Roesser model.
The main contribution of this article is to use the WADT method for the first time to study the finite-region state feedback control problem of 2-D switched systems under saturation constraints and establish sufficient solvability conditions to ensure the FRS of the system.
The rest of this article is organized as follows: In Section 2, the issues to be studied and some necessary preliminaries are provided. Section 3 involves the FRS analysis and finite-region stabilization of 2-D switched systems with actuator saturation using the WADT method. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in Section 4. Section 5 presents the conclusion of this paper.
The notations used in this paper are shown in the Notation in Nomenclatures section.
2. Problem Statements and Preliminaries
Consider the following system with input saturation described by the FMLSS model:
and the input saturation function is defined as follows:
with , where is the state vector of the system; denotes the measured output; and represents the input vector. is called a switching signal, where M denotes the number of subsystems. The matrices , and are known matrices with appropriate dimensions for . To be more specific, from the structural feature of system (1), it is observed that the state values at point are related to those at both and .
The finite region considered in this paper is a triangular region defined as follows:
where N is a given positive integer.
The boundary condition of the 2-D switched system (1) is represented as follows:
Define this boundary condition within the triangular finite-region as follows:
In this context, condition (2) implies that when , the following holds: .
It is assumed that the switching only occurs at in this paper. This means that the switching signal is solely dependent on the . To denote this, we adopt the notation , that is, when . Moreover, we can describe as , , where represents the switching instant. When , it signifies that the subsystem is active during the interval .
The aim of this paper is to analyze the problem of the finite-region state feedback control for 2-D switched systems with actuator saturation. Before that, we provide some definitions to be used. Firstly, we will introduce the definition of FRS for 2-D switched FMLSS model (1) with .
Definition 1
([]). Given a positive integer N, a positive definite matrix Υ, a switching signal , and positive constants , with , the 2-D system (1) with zero control input is said to be finite-region-stable with respect to , if
holds for all when the boundary condition given in (2) satisfies
Remark 1.
For 2-D switched systems, the FRS and LAS are two distinct definitions. The 2-D switched system could be LAS but not FRS and vice versa. It is significant to notice that these two definitions cannot be mutually inferred. For example, Theorem 3.1 in reference [] states that the 2-D switched system is FRS, where indicates that it is not LAS.
Conversely, consider the following system with two subsystems:
where is the state vector of the system, and
Take , , , , and then the triangular region is . Define this boundary condition as . When , the following holds: . As shown in Figure 1, the value of the point (2, 1) in the given triangular region is equal to , indicating that the system is not FRS with respect to . However, after crossing the triangular region, rapidly decreases towards zero, as increases towards ; that is, the system is LAS, as shown in Figure 1, but not FRS. The corresponding simulation diagram in the paper uses gradient colors to reflect the three-dimensional effect.
Figure 1.
Responses of the system with two subsystems.
The positive constant is referred to as the dwell time, satisfying the condition for all . This condition ensures that there is a minimum duration between consecutive switching times. We propose the concept of WADT for 2-D switched systems in this paper to obtain more general stability results.
Definition 2.
Let . Define as the switching numbers of the subsystem in . can be defined as the total duration that the k-th subsystem remains active within the interval , where . If there exist positive numbers , , and variable positive scalars ,
where and ; is called the fast weighted average dwell time, and denotes chatter bounds.
Assumption 1.
Suppose that, for some , the signal in the paper satisfies the following inequality:
for all , .
Remark 2.
It should be observed that the MDADT method ignores the compensatory interactions among subsystems, which depend on the switching times for the respective subsystems. The WADT considers both the compensatory of subsystems and the differences between subsystems. The weighting coefficients are affected by the switching frequency and the rate of descent of the Lyapunov function [,]. In order to reduce computational complexity, we make Assumption 1 to eliminate the influence of switching frequency on the calculation of weighting coefficients. Assumption 1 requires a certain balance in the switching between subsystems, which provides strong conditions for switching but also brings convenience to the design of switching signals.
3. Finite-Region Stability Analysis and Stabilization
In this section, finite-region stability for a 2-D switched system (1) under actuator saturation using the WADT method is discussed. After that, the controller is designed for system (1) to ensure the finite-region stability of the resulting closed-loop system.

The subsequent theorems are all derived from WADT switching to investigate the finite-region stabilization of a 2-D switched system.
3.2. Finite-Region Stabilization
In this subsection, we design the state feedback controller for the 2-D switched system (1) as follows:

When , from the condition (28), we obtain . The remaining proof is basically the same as the previous proof, which is omitted here. □
From a computational perspective, the conditions stated in Theorem 2 do not conform to the standard LMI conditions. In particular, to find a feasible solution using the LMI toolbox of Matlab 2023, we will translate the conditions of Theorem 2 into LMI conditions in the following theorem:
Theorem 3.

Proof of Theorem 3.
Choose (11) as the Lyapunov function, where and . In the subsequent analysis, we will demonstrate that the conditions outlined in Theorem 3 ensure the validity of Theorem 2.
At the same time, notice that , and denote . Then, perform pre- and post-multiply (32) by , respectively. According to Schur complement, (28) can be ensured by (32). The condition (29) can ensure that the following inequality holds:
where
Meanwhile, perform pre- and post-multiply (36) by , respectively. By using the Schur complement, we can ensure (27).
Without considering the actuator saturation, the following corollary can be derived from Theorem 3:
Corollary 1.

and the conditions (30), (31), (33) and (34) hold, where
For any switching signal satisfying WADT (35), the 2-D switched system (1) exhibits finite-region stability with respect to , where Additionally, the controller gains are given by .
4. A Numerical Example

The finite region stability conditions for switched FMLSS models were obtained using the WADT method, and a control scheme was designed to achieve the finite region stability in the closed-loop system. It is worth noting that the conditions given in this article can be transformed into LMIs, which can be directly solved using the MATLAB 2023 toolbox. The last numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
