Asymptotic properties of zero dynamics for nonlinear discretized systems with time delay via Taylor method

Most real world plants often operate in continuous-time case and involve time delay. These models are typically described by ordinary differential equations. However, to utilize and analyze these data, the control signals must first be discretized. In this paper, a new discretization method for obtaining an approximate sampled-data model of a nonlinear continuous-time system with time delay is proposed. The presented approach is based on the Taylor method and zero-order hold assumption, which can be used to approximate the system output and its derivatives in such a way as to obtain a local truncation error between the output of the resulting sampled-data model and true continuous-time system output. More importantly, on the basis of this discretized representation, we explicitly derive the mathematical structure of nonlinear discrete-time zero dynamics in the case of time delay. The main contribution is to analyze the stability of sampling zero dynamics for the proposed model with time delay. The ideas presented here generalize the well-known results from the linear system to nonlinear case.
