Parametric delta operator Riccati equation and applications to semi-global stabilization in the presence of actuator saturation

In this paper, a parametric delta operator Riccati equation is established for low gain feedbacks of linear delta operator systems. Some properties for the parametric delta operator Riccati equation are given based on a parameter-dependent cost function. An explicit solution is also given for the delta operator parametric Riccati equation. Semi-global stabilization is described for a linear delta operator system with actuator saturation via low gain state and output feedback control laws. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness and potential for the developed techniques. (C) 2017 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
