Abstract

Hybrid integrator-gain systems (HIGS) are hybrid control elements used to overcome fundamental performance limitations of linear time-invariant feedback control, and have enjoyed recent successes in engineering applications such as high-precision motion systems. However, despite the relevance of digital implementations, the creation of sampled-data versions of HIGS and their formal analysis have not been addressed in the literature so far, and will form the topic of the present paper. Thereto, we present discrete-time HIGS elements, which preserve the main philosophy behind the operation of HIGS in continuous time. Moreover, stability criteria are presented that can be used to certify input-to-state stability of discrete-time and sampled-data HIGS-controlled systems based on both (i) (measured) frequency response data, and (ii) linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A comparison between these stability criteria is presented as well. A numerical case study is provided to illustrate the application of the main results.
