Control Systems with Actuator Saturation: Analysis and Design

Saturation nonlinearities are ubiquitous in engineering systems. In control systems, every physical actuator or sensor is subject to saturation owing to its maximum and minimum limits. A digital filter is subject to saturation if it is implemented in a finite word length format. Saturation nonlinearities are also purposely introduced into engineering systems such as control systems and neural network systems. Regardless of how saturation arises, the analysis and design of a system that cont...
