  • TITLE: BIBO Stability of A Class of Reset Control Systems
  • AUTHORS: Qian Chen, C.V. Hollot and Yossi Chait
  • ABSTRACT: A reset element is a linear system whose states are reset to zero whenever its input meets a threshold. Such elements were introduced in feedback control systems with the aim of providing more favorable performance trade-offs than could be achieved by LTI control. This potential has been demonstrated in some recent experiments, but there is no guarantee of BIBO stability. This paper develops a sufficient condition for BIBO stability and applies it to an experimental reset control system of nontrivial complexity.
