In this paper, we propose a novel stability criterion and a guideline of controller design for switched linear systems. Unlike existing criterions such as Lie algebraic method and multiple Lyapunov functions method, the proposed criterion can be applied to each individual system without considering an overall system. By applying the proposed criterion to each individual system separately, a state feedback controller can be easily designed. Stability of the overall system is proved by developing a rule to determine non-increasing Lyapunov functions recursively at each switching instant. An illustrative example is given.
