Abstract
In this report, we analyze and design feedback policies for discrete-time Piecewise-Affine (PWA) systems with uncertainty in both the affine dynamics and the polytopic partition. The main idea is to utilise the Difference-of-Convex (DC) decomposition of continuous PWA systems to derive quadratic Lyapunov functions as stability certificates and stabilizing affine policies in a higher dimensional space. When projected back to the state space, we obtain time-varying PWQ Lyapunov functions and time-varying PWA feedback policies.
