The limited output of various drives means a challenge in controller design whenever the acceleration need of the "nominal trajectory to be tracked" temporarily exceeds the abilities of the saturated control system. The prevailing control design methods can tackle this problem either in a single theoretical step or in two consecutive steps. In this latter case in the first step the design happens without taking into account the actuator constraints, then apply a saturation compensator if the phenomenon of windup is observed. In the Fixed Point Iteration- based Adaptive Control (FPIAC) that has been developed as an alternative of the Lyapunov function-based approach the actuator saturation causes problems in its both elementary levels: in the kinematic/kinetic level where the desired acceleration is calculated, and in the iterative process that compensates the effects of modeling errors of the dynamic system under control and that of the external disturbances. The here presented approach tackles this problem in both levels by relatively simple considerations. To illustrate the method's efficiency simulation investigations were done in the FPIAC control of a modification of the van der Pol oscillator to which an additional strongly nonlinear term was added.

The cybersecurity of the modern control system is becoming a critical issue to the cyber-physical systems (CPS). Mitigating potential cyberattacks in the control system is an important concern in the controller design to enhance the resilience of the overall system. This paper presents a novel robust control architecture for the PV converter system to mitigate the sensor and actuator attack and reduce the influence of the system uncertainty. The sensor and actuator attack is a vicious attack scenario when the attack signals are injected into the sensor and actuator in a CPS simultaneously. A p-synthesis robust control architecture is proposed to mitigate the sensor and actuator attack and limit the system uncertainty perturbations in a DC-DC photovoltaic (PV) converter. A new system state matrix and control architecture is presented by integrating the original system state, injected attack signals and system uncertainty perturbations. In the case study, the proposed μ-synthesis robust controller exhibits a robust performance in the face of the sensor and actuator attack.
