Stabilization of Polymerization CSTR Under Input Constraints
This paper deals with output feedback stabilization under input constraints of continuous polymerization reactors. We show that a saturated state feedback controller can handle input constraints together with the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop dynamics. A state observer is then designed and incorporated into the loop. We prove that global asymptotic stability still holds in the controller-observer case. Some simulation results for styrene polymerization are provided.
