From a gain-scheduling perspective, we will study the output feedback control problem for linear systems with some of control channels subject to actuator saturation. This includes the scenario of all actuator saturation as a special case. A feedback controller, expressed in the form of linear fractional transformation, is proposed to guarantee regional stability of the closed-loop system and provide disturbance/error attenuation measured in L2 gain. The resulting synthesis condition is formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and can be solved efficiently. Moreover, explicit formulas are derived to calculate controller gains, which reduces the computational cost compared to the method of directly solving the LMI-based condition. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the proposed saturation control approach.
