In　this　article,　a　state-dependent　switching　policy　for　handling　the　guaranteed　performance　control　problem,　by　means　of　the　partition　of　the　nonnegative　state　space,　for　switched　positive　systems,　is　devised.　The　mixed　performance,　induced　by　the　linear　guaranteed　cost　and　L-1-gain　performance　for　disturbance　attenuation,　is　investigated.　A　corresponding　optimization　problem　devoting　to　the　mixed　performance　is　considered,　including　an　upper　bound　of　linear　guaranteed　cost　and　an　L-1-gain　performance.　Moreover,　sufficient　conditions　are　also　established　by　the　joint　design　of　switching　rules　and　controllers　to　ensure　the　positivity　and　mixed　performance　of　the　closed-loop　systems.　Eventually,　two　examples　are　used　to　illustrate　the　validness　and　practicability　of　the　developed　results.　(C)　2022　The　Franklin　Institute.　Published　by　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
