The key challenges in design of predictor-based control laws for switched systems with arbitrary switching and long input delay are the potential unavailability of the future values of the switching signal (at current time) and the fact…
Consider the $n$-th integrator $\dot x=J_nx+\sigma(u)e_n$, where $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, $u\in \mathbb{R}$, $J_n$ is the $n$-th Jordan block and $e_n=(0\ \cdots 0\ 1)^T\in\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide easily implementable state feedback laws…
