... ) Obviously, the synchronization problem is transformed to the equivalent problem of the stabilization of the error system (6) . In this paper, we analyze three cases for the slave system: (i) without input nonlinearities, (ii) with general input nonlinearities, and (iii) with dead-zone nonlinear...

...Khalid L. Sorensen; Patrick W. Cross; William E. Singhose; Shashvat Prakash Input shaping is an effective method for reducing oscillatory motion in linear systems. Many physical systems, however, exhibit discontinuous dynamics, such as saturation, rate limiting, backlash, and dead-zone. These hard...
