A design method of model following control of nonlinear sampled-data systems

Abstract

This paper deals with model following control of input/output linearizable nonlinear sampled-data systems.When a digital computer is used as a controller,an emulation technique is usually applied.However,it sometimes leads to problems of instability or poor control performance.This study shows a design method of a model following controller by a digital redesign approach with Euler approximate model and a Lyapunov function on the basis of the idea of the sampled-data controller design by Nesic et al.
