Local reliable control for linear systems with saturating actuators

This paper considers the problem of local reliable control for continuous-time linear systems with saturating actuators and disturbance. The local stability and the performance of the designed closed-loop system is guaranteed not only when all the control components are operational, but also in the case of actuator outages in the preselected subset of actuators. The linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and iterative LMI method are proposed to design state-feedback controllers. The effectiveness of our methods is shown by an example.
