Design of time-varying controllers for discrete-time linear systems with input saturation

A method for computing time-varying dynamic output feedback controllers for discrete-time linear systems subject to input saturation is proposed. The method is based on a locally valid polytopic representation of the saturation term. From this representation, it is shown that, at each sampling time, the matrices of the stabilising time-varying controller can be computed from the current system output and from constant matrices obtained as a solution of some matrix inequalities. Linear matrix inequality-based optimisation problems are therefore proposed in order to compute the controller aiming at the maximisation of the basin attraction of the closed-loop system, as well as aiming at ensuring a level of ℒ2 disturbance tolerance and rejection.
