Stability and control synthesis for discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturation by output feedback

This paper presents sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability for discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturations with an output feedback law. The derived stability results are given in terms of LMIs. A new proof is presented to obtain previous conditions of asymptotic stability. A numerical example is used to illustrate this technique by using a linear optimization problem subject to LMI constraints

LMI Conditions for Robust Stability of 2D Linear Discrete-Time Systems

Robust stability conditions are derived for uncertain 2D linear discrete-time systems, described by Fornasini-Marchesini second models with polytopic uncertainty. Robust stability is guaranteed by the existence of a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function obtained from the feasibility of a set of linear matrix inequalities, formulated at the vertices of the uncertainty polytope. Several examples are presented to illustrate the results

Control of systems with asymmetric bounds using linear programming: Application to a hydrogen reformer

This paper studies controller design for feedback systems in the presence of asymmetrically bounded signals, using a case study. An asymmetric objective functional is used to consider the asymmetrically bounded signals, which makes possible to derive a linear programming problem. Solving this LP makes possible to design controllers that minimize certain outputs, fulfilling at the same time hard constraints on certain signals. The method is presented by application to a hydrogen reformer, a system in petrochemical plants that produces hydrogen from hydrocarbons: a mixed sensitivity problem is stated and solved, with an additional constraint given by the asymmetric limitations on the magnitude and rate of the control signal, and the asymmetricity in the disturbances
