Disturbance rejection control of multiple integrators system by bounded linear extended observer based output feedback

Abstract

Summary This paper is concerned with the disturbance rejection control problem of multiple integrators systems subject to actuator saturation and external disturbance. By using the solutions to a class of parametric Lyapunov equations (PLEs), extended observer based bounded linear output feedback controller is designed to solve the considered problem. By constructing a novel Lyapunov function and using the properties of the PLE, the stability of the closed‐loop system is proved and the domain of attraction is estimated. In order to improve control performance, bounded linear time‐varying output feedback controller is also proposed such that the state of the closed‐loop system tends to zero as the time approaches to the prescribed setting time which is independent of the initial conditions and can be assigned in advance. In addition, some comparisons of the proposed methods to existing results are given. Finally, numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
