This manuscript deals with the stabilization of a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems under control saturations including time-varying parameter dependency. The studied control law consists of the gain scheduled feedback of the measured output and of the nonlinearity present in the dynamics of the controlled system. Furthermore the saturations are taken into account by modeling the nonline...

In this paper, the output feedback controller design problem is addressed for linear systems subject to sensor nonlinearity. First, the existence condition of an output feedback controller is derived for systems with sensor sector nonlinearity. A design method for the output feedback controller is proposed using a linear-matrix inequality (LMI) based approach. The result is then applied to the ...

In this paper, the problem of delay-dependent robust absolute stability of uncertain multiple time-delayed Lur'e systems with sector-bounded nonlinearity is investigated. The nonlinearity is assumed to be both time-invariant and time-varying. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and matrix decomposition method, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the robust absolute stab...

In this paper, we present a distributed version of the KYP-Lemma with the goal to express the strictly positive real-property for a class of physically interconnected systems by a set of local LMI-conditions. The resulting conditions are subsequently used to constructively design distributed circle criterion estimators, which are able to collectively estimate an underlying linear system with a ...

All real world control systems must deal with actuator and state constraints. Standard conic sector bounded nonlinearity stability theory provides methods for analyzing the stability and performance of systems under constraints, but it is well-known that these conditions can be very conservative. A method is developed to reduce conservatism in the analysis of constraints by representing them as...

In this paper, we present a novel method for the robust control problem of uncertain nonlinear discrete-time linear systems with sector and slope restrictions. The nonlinear function considered in this paper is expressed as convex combinations of sector and slope bounds. Then the equality constraint is derived by using convex properties of the nonlinear function. A stabilization criterion for t...

In this Letter, we propose new criteria for asymptotic stability of Lur’e systems with sector and slope restrictions. The criteria are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequality which has full block scaling matrix. By interpreting the criteria in the frequency domain using KYP lemma, the less conservativeness of the proposed analysis method is investigated. Furthermore, we analyze the dynam...
