Control design of linear systems with saturating actuators: A survey

In this paper, a survey of the extensive research investigation performed on linear systems subject to saturation including actuator, output and state types is presented. The survey takes into consideration several technical views on the analysis and design procedures leading to global or semi-global stability results and outlines basic assumptions. Research works on the design of linear feedback laws, decentralized controllers are equally emphasized. Results related stability with enlarging the domain of attraction and systems subject to multi-layered nested saturations are provided. Some typical examples are given to illustrate relevant issues.
