Part I: Realization theory of linear switched systems*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 March 2010
The paper represents the first part of a series ofpapers on realization theory of switched systems. Part I presents realization theory of linear switched systems,Part II presents realization theory of bilinear switched systems.More precisely, in Part I necessary and sufficient conditionsare formulated for a family of input-output maps to berealizable by a linear switched system and a characterizationof minimal realizations is presented. The paper treats two types of switched systems.The first one is when all switching sequences are allowed. The second one is when only a subset of switching sequences isadmissible, but within this restricted set the switching times are arbitrary.The paper uses the theory of formal power series to derivethe results on realization theory.
