Exponentially Unstable Plants With Saturating Actuators

Abstract

Every physical actuator is subject to saturation. For this reason, the original formulations of many fundamental control problems, including controllability and time optimal control, all reflect the constraints imposed by actuator saturation. Control problems that involve hard nonlinearities such as actuator saturation, however, turned out to be difficult to deal with. As a result, even though there have been continual efforts in addressing actuator saturation for a chronological bibliography on this subject, it's effect had been ignored in most of the modern control literature. This report summarizes the results obtained under this project. For clarity we have itemized each result as appeared in the book or journal publications.
