A general result on the stabilization of linear systems using bounded controls

H Sussmann, E Sontag, Y Yang - Proceedings of 32nd IEEE …, 1993 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present two constructions of controllers that globally stabilize linear systems subject to
control saturation. The only conditions imposed are the obvious necessary ones, namely that …

On the stabilizability of multiple integrators by means of bounded feedback controls

HJ Sussmann, Y Yang - [1991] Proceedings of the 30th IEEE …, 1991 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
It is known that a linear system x=Ax+Bu can be stabilized by means of a smooth bounded
control if and only if it has no eigenvalues with positive real part, and all the uncontrollable …
