    AbstractWe consider multirate digital control systems whichconsist of an interconnection of a continuous-time non-linear plant (described by ordinary differential equa-tions), a digital controller (described by ordinary dif-ference equations) which has quantizers (but is other-wise linear), along with the required interface elements(A/D and D/A converters). The input to the digitalcontroller consists of the multirate sampled output ofthe plant.In the present note we show that when quantizernonlinearities are neglected, then under reasonable con-ditions (which exclude the critical cases), the stabilityproperties (in the Lyapunov sense) of the trivial so-lution of the nonlinear multirate digital control sys-tems can be deduced from the stability properties ofthe trivial solution of its linearization. For such sys-tems we also present a result concerning the existenceand construction of stabilizing multirate-output digitalcontrollers.In the present note we also show that the solu-tions of multirate digital feedback control systems withnonlinear plant an d quanizers are uniformly ultimatelybounded if the trivial solution of the corresponding lin-ear systems consisting of the linearization of the plantand with the quantization removed from the digitalcontroller, is asymptotically stable. We also providea result which compares the response of multirate digi-tal control systems with nonlinear plant and quantizersin the controller with the response of the correspond-ing nonlinear multirate digital control systems withoutquantizers in the digital controller.

    1. IntroductionA. BackgroundSampled-data control systems, resp., digital controlsystems, are hybrid dynamical systems which usuallyconsist of a continuous-time plant (which can be de-scribed by a set of first order ordinary differential equa-tions) and a digital controller (which can be describedby a set of first order ordinary difference equations).When da ta in such systems are sampled at more thanone rate , such systems are called multirate digital con-

    trol systems, resp., multirate sampled-data control sys-tems.

    The analysis and synthesis of such systems (espe-cially systems with one sampling rate) have been ofcontinuing interest for several decades (refer, e.g., to[I], [5], [6], [8 ] , [12] and the references cited therein).Although the plant is frequently nonlinear in such sys-tems, for purposes of design and analysis, a lineariza-tion of the plant is usually used in the literature, with-out much justification. Furthermore, most of these re-sults do not take into account quantizer effects in thedigital controller and in the interconnecting elements(A/D and D/A converters). In several works (e.g., [2],[15]-[17]) quantization effects in sampled-data controlsystems with linear plants are studied.In a recent paper [7] we investigated the qualita-tive behavior of single ra te digital control systems withnonlinear continuous-time plants and with digital con-trollers and interface elements (A/D and D /A convert-ers) which include signal quantization. In this work wepresented Lyapunov stability results for systems withnonlinear plants but no quantizers in the controllersand Lagrange stability results for systems with nonlin-ear plants and quantizers in the digital controllers.In the present paper we establish new qualitativeresults for multirate digital control systems with non-linear continuous-time plants and with quantization inthe digital controllers. For the special case when theplant is linear and there is no quantization in the dig-ital controller, the class of systems considered hereinreduces to the class of the systems treated in [6].

    B. Multirate Digital Feedback Control SystemsWe consider multirate digital feedback control sys-

    tems of the type depicted in Fig. 1. The nonlinearplant is described by equations of the form2 = f ( z ( t ) ) K e (t ), e( t )= E(kTo),t E [kTo,(k+ 1)To) (1.1){ y(t)= Lz( t ) , k = 0 , 1 , 2 , ..

    2. Stability Analysis of SystemsWithout QuantizersIn this section we assume ideal A/D and D/A con-verters and we assume infinite wordlength digital con-trollers (i.e., there is no quantization in the convert-ers and in the digital controller). Under these as-sumptions, we have e'(kT0)= p(kT0) = Nu(k To ) ,andv(kT0) = d(kT0) = [ ( Y l ( k To ) ) T , - , Y 1 (kT0+ ( N l -l )Tl))T, * , (Yl(kTo))T,* * , (Y'(kT0+W l - )T1))TIT.The multirate digital feedback control system of Fig. 1is now described by the equations

    x = f ( z ( t ) )+ B i i ( t ) , i i ( t )= u( k To ) , t E [ W O , k+ 1)To)U ( ( k+ 1)To)= CU(kT0)+Mjj(kTo), k = 0 , 1 , .

    (2 .1 ){where B = K N . We note that since f (0) = 0, thetrivial solution ( z T , ~ ~ ) ~(OT, is an equilibriumof the multirate system ( 2 .1 ) .Associated with ( 2 . 1 ) is the system given by

    2 = A x ( t )+ B i q t ) , C ( t )= u(kTo) ,t E [kTo,(k+ 1)To)~ ( ( k1)To) Cu(kT0)+ M g ~ ( k T o ) ,= 0 , 1 , .where d,r,(kTo) represents the multirate output of thelinearized system and A denotes the Jacobian off eval-uated at 2 = 0, i.e., A = [g(O)] . The linearsystem of equations (2.2), is called the linearization ofsystem (2 .1 ) .

    For s E [O,To],we have for system ( 2 .2 ) ,z(kT0+s) = eA 8 x ( k To )+[J," A td t ] Bu(kTo).Using this equa-tion and (1.3), we obtain tlhe output of the linearizedplant aswhere W1 = [ ( L I ) ~ ,L leA 7 "1 ) T , .

    (2.4)Note that the trivial solution = (OT,OT)T isan equilibrium of the single-rate digital control system(2.4).For system (2.4), the following results are wellknown (see, e.g., [4]).Lemma 1. The equilibrium ( z T , ~ ) ~(OT, T) T ofthe linear digital control s,ystem (2.4) is ezponentiallystable in the large if and oiily if the matrix

    is Schur stable (i.e., all the eigenvalues of H are withinthe unit circle of the complex plane).Lemma 2. Assume that H has at least one eigen-value outside the unit cixcle. Then the equilibrium( x T ,u ~ ) ~( O T , O T ) T of the linear digital control sys-tem (2.4) is unstable.When the eigenvalues of H satisfy either Lemma1 or Lemma 2, they are said to be noncritical. Other-wise, they are said to be critical eigenvalues. (For thesedefinitions and the usual definitions and results of theLyapunov stability of an equilibrium and the bounded-ness of solutions (Lagrange stability), the reader maywant to refer, e.g., to [13]and [14].)Theorem 1. The equilibrium ( x T , ~ T ) T (OT,OT)Tof the nonlinear multirate digital control system (2 .1 )is uniformly asymptotically stable if the equilibrium( x T ,u ~ ) ~( O T , O T ) T of tbe linear digital control sys-tem (2.4) is exponentially stable, or equivalently, if thematrix H given in (2.5) is Schur stable.Proof: Since f : Rn -+ 3Ifl is continuously differ-entiable with f (0) = 0, we can represent f as f ( x )=Az +g(z), where A = [%.(O)] n x n and g E Cl[%", n]._ . _satisfies the condition liml,,o = 0, where 11 * 11denotes the Euclidean norm on W. The first equationof (2.1) now assumes the form x = A z ( t )+ g ( z ( t ) )+B i i ( t ) , G ( t ) = zc(kT0) for t E [kTo,(k+ 1)To). Its

    now in a pogtion to show that the trivial sblution ofthe system (2.1) is uniformly asymptotically stable ifthe trivial solution of system (2.4) s exponentially sta-ble. Since H is assumed to be Schur stable, there ex-ists a positive definite symmetric matrix P such thatH T P H - P = -In+,, where In+ss the ( n+s ) x ( n+s )identity matrix. Choosing V(w) = w T P w , wherew E !IFs, nd letting w ( k ) = [~~(kTo),u~(kTo)]~~(2.10) can be written as

    u ( k + 1) = Hw(k)+ O ( k ) . (2.11)The first forward difference of V evaluated along thesolutions of (2.11) yields

    V ( w ( k+ 1)) - V(w(k))= wT(k)[HTPH- P]w(k)+2RT(k)PHw(k)+ R(k)PR(k) = -l/w(k)112+2RT(lc)PHw(k) + l ( k ) *PO ( k ) -llw(k)112+2llQ(k)ll . IlPHll * Il4k)l l + I l ~ ( ~ > I l 2P11. (2.12)Before proceeding further, we need the following inter-mediate result.

    Awhenever Ilw(k)\l < 6 , for any k E Z+ = ( 0 , 1 , 2 , . . }.The proof of the above proposition is omitted dueto the space limitations. If we now choose a vo > 0such that 2vollPHII + vO2llPll < 1, then there exists aS(YO) > 0 such that

Therefore, z(t ) converges to the origin simul-taneously with w ( k ) = [ z T ( k T o ) , T(kTo)lTwheneverlIw(ko)ll < d . Noting that d is independent of ko, weconclude that the trivial solution of system (2.1)s uni-formly asymptotically stable if H , given by (2.5), isSchur stable. 0To accommodate hybrid systems, we have modifiedthe usual definition of asymptotic stability in Theo-rem 1. Specifically, the equilibrium w = ( z ~ , u ~ )(OT, T )T of the hybrid system (2.1) is taken to be uni-formly asymptotically stable if the equilibrium w = 0of the corresponding discrete-time system (2.10) is uni-formly asymptotically stable and in addition Ilz(t))Icllw(k)II for all t E [kTo,(k+ )To), k 2 ko,where c isa constant independent of ko.Theorem 2.

    tem (2.1) is unstable.Proof: Omitted due to space limitations. 0For single-rate digital control systems considered in[ 7 ] ,we have W1 = L, and W2 = 0. Clearly then, theresults of the present paper constitute generalizationsto the results given in [ 7 ] .3. Stabilization b y Multirate-OutputControllers

    In this section, we will present a result concerningthe existence and construction of multirate-output con-trollers which stabilize nonlinear systems of the typeconsidered herein. The nonlinear plant may not bestable at the outset.Definition 1. [8] The frame period TO s said to benonpathological if whenever X is an eigenvalue of A , nopoint X + .27rk/To is an eigenvalue of A when k is anonzero integer.Definition 2. [6 ] (Observability Index Vector)Consider an observable pair ( A , L ) where A EWXn and L E eXnnd express L as L =[LT ,- . TIT. A set of 1 integers (121,. - e , nr) is saidto be an observability index v ector (abbreviated OIV)of the pair ( A , L ) if Ci=lni= n and the vectorsare linearly independent. Here ni = 0 means that thevectors of the form LiA" do not appear in the aboveseries.Note that an observable pair has at least one OIV,e.g., the set of Kronecker invariants [9] of the pair( A T ,L T ) ,and may have more OIV's if 1 2 2. An algo-rithm to determine OIV's was presented in Luenberger[ll].Also, it is known that any OIV is preserved undersimilarity transformations.In the following, we use the triplet ( A ,K , L ) to de-note the linearized system 5 = A z ( t )+ K e ( t ) , y ( t )=L z ( t ) corresponding to the nonlinear plant (1.1).Theorem 3. If the linear system ( A , K , L ) s a con-trollable and observable triplet, where A , K , L are thesame as in Section 11, and if (ml , . ,ml ) , the OIVof the augmented system ([ A ] , [L,oI) satisfyNi 2 m,,i = l , . . - , Z , then for any nonpathologicalTo> 0 , there exists a multirate digital controller of theform (1.2) which stabilizes the nonlinear plant ( l . l ) ,i.e., makes the nonlinear multirate digital control sys-tem (2 .1) uniformly exponentially stable.Proof. This theorem is a direct consequence of thelinear system result given in [6 ] and Theorem 1. Inthe present case, we let N = I, E PXg,he s x sidentity matrix. Consider the linearized system. Byz(kTo+s) = eA uz( k To )+[J," A td t ] Bu(kTo),we have

    4. Analysis of !Systems wit h Quantiza tionNonlinearitiesIn the implementatj on of digital controllers, quanti-zation is unavoidable. In [3], [15] and [16], detailsconcerning the inclusion of quantizers into digital con-trollers are discussedl. In the present section, we studyqualitative properties of the nonlinear multirate digi-ta l control system of Fig.1 with fixed-point quantiza-tion included in both the A/D converter and the digitalcontroller. Fixed-point quantization can be character-ized by the relation &(e) = 8 + q(8) where lq(8)l < efor all 8 E 92 and t:, the quantization level, dependson the desired preci,sion. From Fig. 1, we obtain, as-suming that r = O,v(kTo) = Q(Q(kT0)) = Q(kT0)q i ( i j ( k To ) ) ,u ( ( k+ 1:ITo) = Q(Cu(kTo)+Mv(kTo))=Cu(kT0)+Mv(kTo ) -472 (Cu(kTo)+Mv(kTo) ) ,(kT0)=Q ( N ~ ( k 2 ' 0 ) ) N ~ ( l c T 0 ) qS(NU(kTo)) ,k= 0 , 1 , 2 , * * *where the q1, 42 and q3 should be interpreted as vec-tors whose components contain quantization terms. Bya slight abuse of notatton, we will henceforth write q1 (k )in place of q1(Q(kTo:l), Z(k) in place of q2(Cu(kTo)+M v ( k T o ) )and so forth. It is easily verified that thereexist positive constants Ji which are independent of Esuch that Ilqi(k)II 5 i e , i = 1,2 ,3 , k = O , l , . .. In thepresence of quantizer nonlinearities, we can no longerexpect that the system of Fig. 1will have a uniformlyasymptotically stable equilibrium at the origin; in fact,there may not even be an equilibrium at the origin. Inview of this, we will investigate the (ultimate) bound-edness of the solutioin of the system of Fig. 1, includingthe dependence of thle bounds on the quantization size.Similarly as in Section 11, we can show that the4301

    Remark. From the above theorem we can concludethat the bound of the solution of (4.1) can be made ar-bitrarily small by choosing the quantization level suf-ficiently small, provided that the initial state of thesystem is close enough to the origin.
