In this paper, we considered the design of gain scheduled controllers for linear systems with saturating actuators. Our basic idea is to design a control that uses higher control gain when the states are smaller, and lower gain when it is higher. By doing this, we can avoid the saturation and we can improve the performance. First, we derive a control and a reachable set expressed as LMI form, which minimizes not only the L$_2$ gain from the disturbance to the measured output but also the control is never saturated within this reachable set. Next, the reachable set is divided as nested subsets, and at each nested subset, the control gain is designed to minimize the L$_2$ gain and it is never saturated. Finally, the control gain is scheduled according to the status of states, i.e., the subset in which the states are located. A numerical example is presented to show that our gain scheduled control significantly improves the performance.

In this paper, we considered the design of gain scheduled controllers for linear systems with input constraints. The gain scheduled control is a method that uses larger control gain when the states are smaller, and smaller gain when it is larger. By doing this, we can use a full actuator capacity. Also we allow the over-saturation in control to improve the performance. First, we derive a control and a reachable set expressed as LMI form, while minimizing the $L_2$ gain from the disturbance to the measured output. Next, the reachable set is divided as nested subsets, and the control gains are obtained by minimizing the $L_2$ gain at each nested subset. Finally, the control gains are scheduled according to the status of states, i.e., the nested-subset in which the states are located. Performance of the proposed technique is illustrated through simulations of a six-story building subject to earthquake ground motion.

A new optimal state feedback and disturbance feedforward control design in the sense of minimizing $L_{2}-gain$ from disturbance to control output is proposed for disturbance attenuation of systems with bounded control input and measurable disturbance. The controller is derived in the framework of linear matrix inequality(LMI) optimization. A gain scheduled state feedback and disturbance feedforward control design is also suggested to improve disturbance attenuation performance. The control gains are scheduled according to the proximity to the origin of the state of the plant and the magnitude of disturbance. This procedure yields a stable linear time varying control structure that allows higher gain and hence higher performance controller as the state and the disturbance move closer to the origin. The main results give sufficient conditions for the satisfaction of a parameter-dependent performance measure, without violating the bounded control input condition.

This paper describes an approach for synthesizing a modularized gain scheduled PD type fuzzy logic controller(FLC) of nonlinear magnetic bearing system where the gains of FLC are on-line adapted according to the operating point. Specifically the systematic procedure via root locus technique is carried out for the selection of the gains of FLC. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy logic controller yields not only maximization of stability boundary but also better control performance than a single operating point (without gain scheduling)fuzzy controller.

In this paper, the gain scheduled state feedback and disturbance feedforward control design proposed in the previous paper has been applied to a simple matching system and a turret stabilization system. In such systems, it is needed to attenuate disturbance response effectively as long as control input satisfies the given constraint on its magnitude. The scheduled control gains are derived in the framework of linear matrix inequality(LMI) optimization by means of the MatLab toolbox. Its effectiveness is verified along with the simulation results compared with the conventional optimum constant gain control and the scheduled state feedback control cases.

In practical control systems, the capacity of actuators is limited and this degrades the system performances and it is often a source of instability. To use full capacity of actuators, we adopt the gain scheduled control permitting the over saturation in controls. The basic idea of gain scheduled control is to use a higher gain control when the state variables are smaller and a lower gain control when the state variables are larger. First, we derive a constant H control and a reachable set while satisfying the degree of over saturation. Next, we divide this set into nested subsets and find $H_{\infty}$ controls at rack subsets while satisfying the degree of over saturation. Finally, the control gain is applied according to the status of states. Note that all procedures are done by solving linear matrix inequalities(LMI). Finally, we show the validity and applicability of our proposed control using the simulations of a six-story building subjected to the earthquake excitation.

A new discrete time gain-scheduled control design is proposed to improve disturbance attenuation for systems with bounded control input under known disturbance maximum norm. The state feedback gains are scheduled according to the proximity of the state of the plant to the origin. The controllers are derived in the framework of linear matrix inequality(LMI) optimization. This procedure yields a linear time varying control structure that allows higher gain and hence higher performance controllers as the state moves closer to the origin. The main results give sufficient conditions for the satisfaction of a parameter-dependent performance measure, without violating the bounded control input condition under the given disturbance maximum norm.

This paper describes an approach for synthesizing a modularized gain scheduled PD type fuzzy logic controller(FLC) for a high maneuverable aircraft system, where the gains of FLC are on-line adapted according to the flight condition. Specially, the systematic procedure via root locus technique is carried out for the sellection of the gains of FLC. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy logic controller yields better control performance than the normal (without gain scheduling) fuzzy controller.
