Abstract
This paper addresses the stabilization problem of linear systems subject to input saturation. The major purpose is to introduce nonlinearity into control laws so as to expand the design freedom for performance enhancement. To this end, a new approach is developed which involves a partial differential matrix inequality (PDMI). A class of stabilizing feedback laws is explicitly obtained by solving this PDMI analytically and the feedback laws are parameterized by a nonlinear function. Further, it is revealed that any linear observer can be used to realize the output feedback stabilization. Numerical examples, including the seek control of a hard disk drive, show that the introduced nonlinearity does contribute to the improvement of system performance. The application to integral control is also discussed.
