Abstract
In this paper, the reachability problem for a class of
second-order LTI switched systems is solved. The reachabil-
ity problem is first explored for switched systems consisting
of two subsystems and switching control laws are proposed
that can drive the system state from an initial point to a
target point via finitely many switches. The method is then
extended to the case of several subsystems. The relationship
between stabilizability and reachability is also addressed.
1 Introduction
A switched system is a system that consists of several
subsystems and a switching law that specifies which subsys-
