Dynamic output feedback fault tolerant controller design for discrete-time switched systems with actuator fault

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic output feedback fault tolerant controller design for discrete-time switched systems with actuator fault. By using reduced-order observer method and switched Lyapunov function technique, a fault estimation algorithm is achieved for the discrete-time switched system with actuator fault. Then based on the obtained online fault estimation information, a switched dynamic output feedback fault tolerant controller is employed to compensate for the effect of faults by stabilizing the closed-loop systems. Finally, an example is proposed to illustrate the obtained results.
