Abstract
Inducing sustained oscillations in a class of nonlinear discrete time systems is studied in this paper. The novelty of this paper is based on the proposed approach in generating stable oscillations according to limit cycle control. The limit cycle control is not formulated for nonlinear discrete time systems of any order and this paper concentrates on this issue. Considering the stable limit cycle as a positive limit set for the dynamical system, a nonlinear control law is designed to create the considered limit cycle in the phase trajectories of the closed-loop nonlinear discrete time system to achieve oscillations with the desirable amplitude and frequency. For this purpose, firstly, the limit cycle control is proposed for second-order nonlinear discrete time systems. The stability analysis of the generated limit cycle is done via a suitable Lyapunov function. Also, the domain of attraction of the created limit cycle is calculated. The proposed method is then extended for nonlinear discrete time systems of any order via the backstepping technique. Finally, computer simulations are performed for a practical example to demonstrate the ability of the designed controller in generating stable oscillations.
