The optimal control formulation enables designs that minimize the mismatch between the unconstrained closed-loop response with a given controller and the constrained closed-loop response with anti-windup augmentation. Recently developed techniques for off-line computation of the constrained linear regulator's solution, which is piecewise affine, facilitate implementation. The resulting sampled-data, anti-windup closed-loop system's properties are established and its performance is demonstrated on a simulation example.}, keywords = {Anti-windup design; Input saturation; Sampled-data systems; Piecewise a ne systems} }
