This paper focuses on discussing the stability of time-varying switched impulsive nonlinear systems (TVSINSs). To conquer the difficulties induced by time-varying parameters, we firstly put forward comparison theorem associated with a method that doesn’t involve any Lyapunov function and is commonly utilized in positive systems to set up new stability criteria of TVSINSs under the average dwell time (ADT) switching. In comparison with recent results, the derived ones are not only in connection with state delay and impulse delay, but also possess less conservative conditions from the simulation analyses. In conclusion, the feasibility and superiority of the adopted approaches are testified by two appropriate examples.
