Abstract

We introduce an approximate bisimulation-based framework that gives an upper bound of the Skorokhod metric between a switched system with delays and its delay-free model. To establish the approximate bisimulation relation, we rely on an incremental stability assumption. We showcase our framework using an example of a boost DC-DC converter. The obtained upper bound of the Skorokhod metric can be used to reduce the reachability analysis (or the safety controller synthesis) of the switched system with delays to that of the delay-free model.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The word “periodic” is usually used for a stronger condition that the same signal shape is repeated in every period. Our use of the word, which is weaker (Definition 2.3), follows some literature in the field such as [13].

  2. 2.

    In the formalization of Sect. 2, the set P of modes is declared as \(\{1, \cdots , m\}\). Here we instead use \(P = \{{\textit{ON}}, {\textit{OFF}}\}\) for readability.
