Global asymptotic stability of a PID control system with Coulomb friction

We propose a model for representing a point mass subject to Coulomb friction in feedback with a PID controller, based on a differential inclusion comprising all the possible magnitudes of static friction during the stick phase. For this model we study the set of all equilibria and we establish its global asymptotic stability using a discontinuous Lyapunov-like function, and a suitable LaSalle's invariance principle. We finally use well-posedness of the proposed model to establish useful robustness results, including an ISS property from a suitable input in a perturbed context. Simulation results are also given to illustrate our statements.

Global results on reset-induced periodic trajectories of planar systems

We study the existence of asymptotically stable periodic trajectories induced by reset feedback. The analysis is developed for a planar system. Casting the problem into the hybrid setting, we show that a periodic orbit arises from the balance between the energy dissipated during flows and the energy restored by resets, at jumps. The stability of the periodic orbit is studied with hybrid Lyapunov tools. The satisfaction of the so-called hybrid basic conditions ensures the robustness of the asymptotic stability. Extensions of the approach to more general mechanical systems are discussed.
