Bounded controls for discrete-time linear systems subject to input time delay

This paper investigates the global stabilization of discrete-time linear systems with input time delay by bounded controls. Based on some special canonical forms containing time delays both in its input and state, two special discrete-time linear systems—multiple integrators and oscillators are first considered. The global stabilizing controllers are respectively established, and moreover, explicit conditions are established to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop systems. Subsequently, a concise design method is proposed for globally stabilizing general discrete-time linear system by combining the design methods for multiple integrators and oscillators. The designed controller is in the explicit form with explicit stability conditions being given, and thus is easier to use than the existing results. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
