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 …

In assessing system performance, the control engineer armed with linear analysis and
design techniques soon encounters a fundamental nonlinear problem that threatens the …

Compiling the most significant advances from nearly a decade of research, this reference
compares and evaluates a wide variety of techniques for the design, analysis, and …

This book investigates the stability and performance of control systems subject to actuator
saturation. Actuator saturation is frequently encountered in practical control systems as …

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are the preferred language for the investigation and
understanding of various natural phenomena. Employed extensively in natural sciences …

We study the problem of stabilizing exponentially unstable linear systems with saturating
actuators. The study begins with planar systems with both poles exponentially unstable. For …

In this paper, we consider the proof of stability of a nonlinear system. We found it useful to
employ Polya's general four step problem solving process to organize and present the …

This paper generalizes our recent results on the null controllable regions and the
stabilizability of exponentially unstable linear systems subject to symmetric actuator …

The describing function method (used normally as a first approximation to study the
existence and the stability of periodic orbits) is used here to analyze the dependence of …

This paper approaches the control problem of (buck‐type) single‐phase multilevel cascade
inverters. The main pursued objective is the generation of an output voltage waveform with …
