Abstract
The problem of the stabilization of time-delay systems containing saturating actuators is considered. Two kinds of feedback stabilizing laws are treated: state feedback and sampled-state feedback. Several sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the stability of the saturating time-delay system under control. Each of these results, expressed by a scalar inequality, permits us to assess the transient behaviour of the controlled system. The results presented enable a practical consideration of the unavoidable saturation of the actuators and give an insight into the stabilization analysis of saturating time-delay systems.
