Sampled data control systems consist of continuous-time plants controlled by discrete controllers. The authors investigate the effect of sampling on the convergence of closed loop continuous nonlinear systems containing parameter uncertainties. The authors show that the discrete implementation of a converging controller results in the convergence of the sampled-data closed loop system under the assumptions that the sampling time is in an open set and the continuous system satisfies Lipschitz type conditions. Moreover, for a certain class of systems, the conditions also deal with the initial data. The results are derived for both global and local convergence. The authors also show that the ball of convergence of the sampled data loop system is a continuous function of the sampling time. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0882.00050].
