Change symbol used for anti-windup gain

Richard,
Have made a slight modification of stability of anti-windup schemes and example, one small thing I would have a slight preference to change $k_\text{f}$ to $k_\text{t}$ because it is called a tracking gain, but I let you decide, global change is necessary.

Comments to Karl via e-mail:
We are already using k_f for the feedforward gain in the state feedback work, so I think we probably want to avoid that particular symbol.
Having said that, I am not that big a fan of k_t since it doesn’t really link to anything (we don’t use the term “tracking gain” in the text => the ’t’ is not that natural). A couple of options:
-
We could use some other symbol, like k_a or k_{aw} (for antiwindup). This might be in conflict with what is used in the standard PID literature, though.
-
We could change to k_f and just note the conflict with the state space notation. Is there something that ‘f’ stands for that we should point out so that students can remember it?
-
We could leave as is (k_t).
For now I am included to either leave as k_t or change to k_a (but only if you think this won’t cause confusion).

reporter There is now a macro \awsub that should be used for the anti-windup subscript. This currently expands to \text{aw}.

reporter - changed status to resolved
Subscript changed to \awsub in all locations.
