Robust Control of Uncertain Switched Affine Systems via Scenario Optimization

Abstract: Switched affine systems are often used to model and control complex dynamical systems that operate in multiple modes. However, uncertainties in the system matrices can challenge their stability and performance. This paper introduces a new approach for designing switching control laws for uncertain switched affine systems using data-driven scenario optimization. Instead of relaxing invariant sets, our method creates smaller invariant sets with quadratic Lyapunov functions through scenario-based optimization, effectively reducing chattering effects and regulation error. The framework ensures robustness against parameter uncertainties while improving accuracy. We validate our method with applications in multi-objective interval Markov decision processes and power electronic converters, demonstrating its effectiveness.
