Sampled-data model following output feedback control for discrete-valued input systems

This paper considers a sampled-data model following control for continuous-time discrete-valued input systems. The synthesis problem the authors address is the simultaneous synthesis of the nominal controller and the dynamic quantizers. A synthesis condition is recast as a set of matrix inequalities via the matrix uncertainty approach, while the quantized accuracy and the sampling time of discretizing the continuous-valued signal are considered simultaneously. To obtain the synthesis condition, the improved approach dividing the region of the switching intervals and the change of variable approach reducing the controller order are applied.
