Stability analysis of spatially interconnected systems with signal saturation

Abstract

The robust stability problem of spatially interconnected systems with signal saturation among the many composed subsystems is considered. The system structure is usually sparse, and each subsystem has different dynamics. Firstly, a robust stability condition is established based on integral quadratic constraint (IQC) theory, which makes full use of the sparseness of the subsystem connection topology. Secondly, a decoupling robust condition that only depends on the subsystem parameters is proved. Finally, it is shown through numerical simulations that the obtained conditions are computationally valid in analyzing spatially interconnected systems with signal saturation constraints among the subsystems.
