Open problems in reset control

It is well-known that there are fundamental performance limitations in the design of linear feedback control systems for single-input-single-output (SISO) linear-time-invariant (LTI) plants. These performance limitations sometimes include overshoot and rise time. This paper shows that for some examples of SISO LTI systems, it is possible to find suitable reset controllers that can overcome such performance limitations, though there are still some robust and implementable issues that need to be solved. This naturally leads to the formulation of several open research problems that we specify.
