Improving the performance of low-gain designs for bounded control of linear systems
Several solutions of the problem of stabilizing linear systems with bounded control rely on a one-parameter family of low-gain linear control laws u = K(epsilon)x. This paper presents an online scheduling of the parameter ensuring, in addition to closed-loop stability, the fastest possible transient between two extreme values of epsilond, chosen for stability and performance, respectively.
