Fault-Tolerant Control of Nonlinear Systems Subject to Sensor Data Losses

This work considers the problem of control of nonlinear process systems subject to input constraints and sensor faults (complete failure or intermittent unavailability of measurements). To clearly illustrate the importance of accounting for the presence of input constraints, we first consider the problem of sensor faults that necessitate sensor recovery to maintain closed-loop stability. We address the problem of determining, based on stability …
