“…When a continuous-time plant is controlled through a digital controller, side effects such as time-delays, asynchronism, quantization, (see Elia and Mitter (2001) and references therein), can turn into an excessive performance degradation like the appearance of limit cycles, chaotic phenomena or even instability of the closed-loop system, (Ceragioli & De Persis, 2007;Delchamps, 1990). Concerning the effect of quantization in control systems, such a topic has been extensively addressed by researchers over the last years; see, e.g., Brockett and Liberzon (2000), Ceragioli and De Persis (2007), Coutinho, Fu, and de Souza (2010), Delchamps (1990), Fu and Xie (2005), Liberzon (2003), Sur and Paden (1997) and Tarbouriech and Gouaisbaut (2012) just to cite a few. ✩ This work has been supported by ANR project LimICoS contract number 12 BS03 00501.…”
