Abstract

In this paper, discretization error for nonlinear systems in sampled-data configuration is analyzed. The discretization of the continuous-time system model is carried out using the Euler method. It is shown that discretization error is bounded for sufficiently small sampling time. The application of derived discretization error bounds in the convergence analysis of sampled-data control systems with control design based on the discretized system model is also presented.
