Global practical stabilization of the double integrator system with an imperfect sensor and subject to a bounded disturbance

Abstract

AbstractThis paper is concerned with global practical stabilization of the double integrator system with an imperfect sensor and subject to an additive bounded output disturbance. The imperfect sensor nonlinearity possesses the nonlinear characteristics of saturation and dead zone. Because of the presence of output dead zone and the additive disturbance, the states cannot be expected to driven into an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the origin. To solve the global practical stabilization problem, we proposes a low gain-based linear dynamic output feedback law, under which the first state enters and remains in a bounded set whose size is depended on the bound of disturbance and the range of dead zone and the second state enters and remains in a pre-specified arbitrarily small set, both in finite time. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed control method.
