This monograph details basic concepts and tools fundamental for the analysis and synthesis of linear systems subject to actuator saturation and developments in recent research. The authors use a state-space approach and focus on stability analysis and the synthesis of stabilizing control laws in both local and global contexts. Different methods of modeling the saturation and behavior of the nonlinear closed-loop system are given special attention. Various kinds of Lyapunov functions are considered to present different stability conditions. Results arising from uncertain systems and treating...

A reset controller is a linear controller whose output is reset to zero whenever its input and output satisfy an appropriate algebraic relationship. It has widespread industrial applications and is used in many modern day control systems. This monograph provides a comprehensive survey into three parts. Part I provides an historical literature review and presents some fundamental results. Part II deals with nonplanar reset systems and covers several reset rules that may be used to augment high-order controllers for plants of any order. It also provides several simulation studies showing...
