“…In the remainder of this article, we opt for a linear spline basis function parameterization of k i (t), as illustrated in Example 2, as it yields a continuous control signal. In contrast, the steplike basis function parameterization, as illustrated in Example 1 and used in [24], results in discontinuities in the control signal, risking excitation of high-frequency system dynamics, which is also a well-known problem in reset control and impulsive control strategies developed for the control of frictional systems.…”
