Stabilization of the complex double integrator by means of a saturated linear feedback (Q6097903)

In this paper, the author consider the stabilization problem of a four-order linear control system \(\dot{x}=Ax+B\sigma(u)\), where \(A\) is a \(4\times 4\) real matrix that is not diagonalizable and admits a nonzero purely imaginary eigenvalue of multiplicity two, and \(B\) is a vector in \(R^4\) \(u\) is 1-dimensional control variable, and \(\sigma: R\to R\) is a saturation function. Suppose that the pair \((A, B)\) is controllable. The author proved that there exists a linear feedback \(u = K^T x\) such that the resulting closed loop system is globally asymptotically stable with respect to the origin. In the present paper, for \(A=J_2(\omega)\) (complex double integrator), by the constructive method, the author gives a linear feedback control law, under which the resulted closed loop system is globally asymptotically stable.
