Abstract:
This paper focuses on the stabilization and regulation of linear systems affected by quantization in state-transition data and actuated input. The observed data are composed of tuples of current state, input, and the next state's interval ranges based on sensor quantization. Using an established characterization of input-logarithmically-quantized stabilization based on robustness to sector-bounded uncertainty, we formulate a nonconservative infinite-dimensional linear program that enforces superstabilization of all possible consistent systems under assumed priors. We solve this problem by posing a pair of exponentially-scaling linear programs, and demonstrate the success of our method on example quantized systems.
