Estimation of the Attraction Domain for an Affine System with Constrained Vector Control Closed by the Linearizing Feedback

详细

Nonlinear affine systems with constrained vector control that are represented in a canonical (normal) form and are closed by feedbacks linearizing the system in a neighborhood of the origin, are considered. For the nonlinear closed-loop system, the problem is set to construct an estimate of the attraction domain of an equilibrium position. A method for constructing an estimate of the attraction domain, which is based on results of absolute stability theory, is suggested. The estimate is sought as a Cartesian product of positive invariant sets of the subsystems composing the system. In the case of ellipsoidal invariant sets, construction of the estimate reduces to solving a system of linear matrix inequalities. The discussion is illustrated by numerical examples.
