A State-scaling Design for Prescribed-time Stabilization of High-order Nonlinear Systems with Input Quantization
Abstract This article considers global stabilization problem for a kind of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems (HONSs). Two distinct characteristics of this study are that the considered system possesses the input-quantized actuator, and the prescribed time convergence of the system states is wanted. To address these, a novel state-scaling transformation (SST) is firstly introduced to convert the aboriginal prescribed-time stabilization (PTS) to the asymptotic stabilization of the transformed one. Then, under the new framework of equivalent transformation, a quantized state feedback controller that achieves of the performance requirements is developed with the aid of the technique of adding a power integrator (API). Finally, simulation results of a liquid-level system are provided to confirm the efficacy of the proposed approach.
