This paper considers the stabilization bound problem for singularly perturbed systems (SPSs) subject to actuator saturation. A state feedback stabilization controller design method is proposed and a basin of attraction depending on the singular perturbation parameter is constructed, which facilitates the formulation of the convex optimization problem for maximizing the basin of attraction of SPSs. Finally, examples are given to show the advantages and effectiveness of the obtained results. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
