Periodic fixed-points and their algebraic characteristics in discrete-time Lur'e feedback systems
Abstract
We study the problem of identifying nontrivial, i.e., nonzero, periodic fixed-points in discrete-time Lur'e feedback systems. Using the circulant matrix constructed from the transfer function of the linear subsystem, whether stable or unstable, we introduce an algebraic framework that allows us to determine when such fixed-points exist. This framework yields a sector bound defined by two vectors, whose slopes correspond to the maximum and minimum positive singular values of the circulant matrix. Assuming that the nonlinear feedback function is memoryless, we show that a necessary condition for the existence of nontrivial P-periodic fixed-points is that the intersection of the continuous completion of the nonlinear feedback function with that sector bound contains at least one point other than the origin. Our characterization provides a unified condition valid for all periods P, and further enables us to derive upper bounds on the amplitudes of admissible periodic fixed-points with bounded feedback functions. In particular, for relay feedback systems with passive feedback functions, we derive both upper and lower bounds for the amplitudes of such periodic fixed-points.
