Robust stabilization via saturated feedback
In this paper, we deal with the problem of stabilization of uncertain systems in the presence of input constraint. First algebraic conditions are derived for input-to-state stability of linear system with saturated linear feedback of low dimension. Then a recursive design procedure is derived for robust stabilization of block upper triangular nonlinear systems with feedforward structure.
