Stability of sampled-data piecewise-affine systems under state feedback

This paper addresses stability of sampled-data piecewise-affine (PWA) systems consisting of a continuous-time plant and a discrete-time emulation of a continuous-time state feedback controller. The paper presents conditions under which the trajectories of the sampled-data closed-loop system will exponentially converge to a neighborhood of the origin. Moreover, the size of this neighborhood will be related to bounds on perturbation parameters related to the sampling procedure, in particular, related to the sampling period. Finally, it will be shown that when the sampling period converges to zero the performance of the stabilizing continuous-time PWA state feedback controller can be recovered by the emulated controller.
