Control under clock offsets and actuator saturation

This paper studies the stability analysis and the stabilization problem for systems with asynchronous sensors and controllers, and actuators subject to saturation. We consider systems with parameter uncertainties caused by clock offsets. By using a polytopic overapproximation, we investigate how large clock offsets affect stability. In addition, we employ a sector characterization approach to address actuator saturation. We see from a numerical study that the range of allowable clock offset bounds drops if the saturation limit becomes smaller than a certain value.
