Guaranteed cost controller for discrete time-delayed systems with actuator saturation

Abstract

The problem of guaranteed cost (GC) control using static-state feedback controllers for uncertain linear discrete time-delayed systems subjected to actuator saturation is studied in this paper. The stability analysis of closed-loop systems is carried out using a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. Conditions for the existence of state-feedback GC controllers are developed using a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based criterion. The approach ensures a sufficient performance bound over all the acceptable parameter uncertainties. The scheme of the optimal GC controller problem is framed as a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints. The design of GC controllers for discrete-time systems subjected to actuator saturation without considering the effect of state-delay is also discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated using suitable examples.
