Gain-scheduled output control design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems with saturating actuators

This paper deals with the stabilization of a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems under control saturations including time-varying parameter dependency. The control law studied 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 nonlinear saturated system through a dead-zone nonlinearity satisfying a modified sector condition. Thus, as for precisely known systems, linear matrix inequality (LMI) stabilization conditions are proposed for such a generic system. These conditions can be cast into convex programming problems for design purposes. An illustrative example stresses the efficiency of the main result.
