Robust global stabilisability by means of sampled-data control with positive sampling rate
This work proposes a notion of robust reachability of one set from another set under constant control. This notion is used to construct a control strategy, involving sequential set-to-set reachability, which guarantees robust global stabilisation of non-linear sampled data systems with positive sampling rate. Sufficient conditions for robust reachability of one set from another under constant control are also provided. The proposed method is illustrated through a number of examples, including the study of the sampled-data stabilisation problem of the chemostat.
