Self-Excited Dynamics of Discrete-Time Lur'e Systems

arXiv:2109.12732

Abstract

Self-excited systems arise in numerous applications, such as biochemical systems, fluid-structure interaction, and combustion. This paper analyzes a discrete-time Lur'e system with a piecewise-linear saturation feedback nonlinearity. The main result provides sufficient conditions under which the Lur'e system is self-excited in the sense that its response is bounded and nonconvergent.
