A passivity-based approach to reset control systems stability (Q962186)

This work gives a stability analysis of reset compensators in feedback interconnection with passive nonlinear systems. Reset control systems can be regarded as a special case of hybrid systems with impulsive motion. The reset actions amounts to setting the integrator output equal to zero whenever its input is zero. So there is take place a faster system response without excessive overshot. The stability problem of reset control systems is considered using passivity theory on the base of functional analysis. Several examples of full and partial reset compensators are analyzed.
