Consider the controlled system $dx/dt = Ax + \alpha(t)Bu$ where the pair $(A,B)$ is stabilizable and $\alpha(t)$ takes values in $[0,1]$ and is persistently exciting, i.e., there exist two positive constants $\mu,T$ such that, for every…
We consider control systems of the type $\dot x = A x +\alpha(t)bu$, where $u\in\R$, $(A,b)$ is a controllable pair and $\alpha$ is an unknown time-varying signal with values in $[0,1]$ satisfying a persistent excitation condition i.e.,…
The plant to be stabilized is a system node $\Sigma$ with generating triple $(A,B,C)$ and transfer function $\bf G$, where $A$ generates a contraction semigroup on the Hilbert space $X$. The control and observation operators $B$ and $C$ may…
We investigate input-to-state stability (ISS) of infinite-dimensional collocated control systems subject to saturated feedback. Here, the unsaturated closed loop is dissipative and uniformly globally asymptotically stable. Under an…

In this work, we analyze the internal and boundary stabilization of the Cahn-Hilliard and Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations under saturated feedback control. We conduct our study through the spectral analysis of the associated linear operator.…
In the context of linear control systems, a commonly-held intuition is that negative and positive feedback cannot both be stability enhancing. The canonical linear prototype is the scalar system $\dot x=u$ which, under negative linear…
This note studies the robust output feedback stabilization problem of a class of multi-input multi-output invertible nonlinear systems, for which an "ideal" state feedback based on feedback linearization can be designed under certain mild…
Consider the $n$-th integrator $\dot x=J_nx+\sigma(u)e_n$, where $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, $u\in \mathbb{R}$, $J_n$ is the $n$-th Jordan block and $e_n=(0\ \cdots 0\ 1)^T\in\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide easily implementable state feedback laws…
Feedback asymptotic stabilization of control systems is an important topic of control theory and applications. Broadly speaking, if the system $\dot{x} = f(x,u)$ is locally asymptotically stabilizable, then there exists a feedback control…
We derive a saturated feedback control, which locally stabilizes a linear reaction-diffusion equation. In contrast to most other works on this topic, we do not assume the Lyapunov stability of the uncontrolled system and consider general…
This note studies the robust output feedback stabilization problem of multi-input multi-output invertible nonlinear systems with output-dependent multipliers. An "ideal" state feedback is first designed under certain mild assumptions. Then,…
This paper presents an anti-windup PI controller, using a saturating integrator, for a single-input single-output stable nonlinear plant, whose steady-state input-output map is increasing. We prove that, under reasonable assumptions, there…
We prove the well-posedness of a linear closed-loop system with an explicit (already known) feedback leading to arbitrarily large decay rates. We define a mild solution of the closed-loop problem using a dual equation and we prove that the…
In this paper, we address the problem of globally stabilizing a linear time-invariant (LTI) system by means of a static feedback law whose amplitude and successive time derivatives, up to a prescribed order $p$, are bounded by arbitrary…
We consider a family of linear control systems $\dot{x}=Ax+\alpha Bu$ where $\alpha$ belongs to a given class of persistently exciting signals. We seek maximal $\alpha$-uniform stabilisation and destabilisation by means of linear feedbacks…
Saturations in control signal can challenge the stability proof of a feedback-linearization-based controller, even leading the system unstable [1]. Thus, several approaches are established to avoid reaching the saturation bound [2,3].…
We examine when differentially flat nonlinear control systems with more than two inputs can be rendered static feedback linearizable by a minimal number of prolongations of suitably chosen inputs after applying a static input…
Relaxed conditions are given for stability of a feedback system consisting of an exponentially stable multi-input multi-output nonlinear plant and an integral controller. Roughly speaking, it is shown that if the composition of the plant…
We present a design framework to induce stable oscillations through mixed feedback control. We provide conditions on the feedback gain and on the balance between positive and negative feedback contributions to guarantee robust oscillations.…
