Stabilization of Linear Systems With Input Saturation and Large Delay.

This paper investigates a stabilization problem for linear systems subject to saturation and time-varying delays in the control input, where the delay takes both large and small values in an alternating manner. Based on the delay values, the considered system is described by a switched system including a stabilizable subsystem and an unstabilizable subsystem. By using Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method, a time-dependent switching rule orchestrating the proposed controllers is established to guarantee the regional stabilization of the closed-loop system. To obtain a domain of attraction as large as possible, an optimization problem is formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples and simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
