Stability analysis and control synthesis for linear systems with non-symmetrical input saturation

Abstract This paper studies the stability and control problem of linear systems with non-symmetrical input saturation. A system with non-symmetrical input saturation is transformed into a system with switching symmetrical input saturation. A switching controller is designed based on a parametric algebra Riccati equation, dwell time and the equivalent switched system. Exponential stability is guaranteed with the proposed switching controller. The main advantages of the proposed method lie in reducing the conservatism caused by directly using symmetrical input saturation control and increasing the state convergent speed. The designed controller can be computed easily by solving the Riccati equation. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
