Reset control of the double integrator with finite settling time and finite jerk (Q2664257)

A linear switched system is considered. Its continuous dynamics is determined by four integrators while its discrete dynamics is given by suitable jerk resetting block: when certain state-based condition holds, the trigger/impulse signal is activated and sets the desired after-reset value for the state variables. It is proposed a reset-based feedback controller that stabilizes the considered system in finite-time under a finite-jerk restriction (that is without jumps in acceleration). The proposed controller uses the minimum number of resets (at most two), identifying a crossing manifold, which is nonlinear and depends both on position and velocity. Simulations show the applicability of the proposed controller.
