Preservation of input-to-state stability under sampling and emulation: multi-rate case
The stabilization problem of sampled-data non-linear systems is considered under the low measurement rate constraint. A multi-rate control scheme is proposed that utilizes a numerical integration scheme to approximately predict the current state. We show that if we design a continuous-time controller for a continuous-time plant so that the closed-loop continuous-time system is input-to-state stable and then discretize the controller and implement it using sample and zero order hold devices, then input-to-state stability property will be preserved for the sampled-data multi-rate closed loop system in a practical sense.
