Abstract
This article deals with the synthesis of stabilizing controllers for unstable linear systems and feedback linearizable unstable nonlinear systems, and the estimation of closed-loop regions of stability, in the presence of input constraints. The proposed methodology involves reducing the problem of stabilizing a system of arbitrary dimension into one of stabilizing a subsystem of dimension one, such that the stability of the overall system is ensured by a guaranteeing the stability of the latter. The desirable features of the proposed methodology are its ease of implementation and its relative non-conservativeness over existing approaches; these are demonstrated by applying the proposed methodology to a chemical reactor example and comparing it with a Lyapunov-based approach.
