Fast Sampling and Stability of Nonlinear Sampled-Data Systems: Part 2. Sampling Rate Estimations

Abstract
This paper uses a time-domain approach to study the effect of fast sampling on the stability of a class of nonlinear sampled-data systems which have the property that their underlying continuous system are stable on a certain domain. In this, the second, part of the paper, a relationship between sampling rate and an estimated domain of attraction of the system is obtained by extending the analysis in Part 1. This relationship indicates that a faster sampling rate can increase the estimated domain of attraction of the sampled-data system, a phenomenon well known in practice. Hence, this study is a significant step towards understanding the effect of sampling on the behaviour of a sampled-data system. It may also help in designing a sampled-data system in the best interests of economic instrumentation and system performance.
