Discretization of LPV Systems.

This chapter is devoted to the discretization of LPV systems through the discrete-time projection of their state-space representations. Both exact and approximative approaches are developed in a zero-order hold setting. Primary attention is given to the discretization of state-space representations with static coefficient dependence. For this case, criteria are derived to assist the choice of the sampling-time in terms of preservation of frozen dynamic stability and acceptable upperbound on the discretization error.
