What is it about?
This paper proposes a novel method to design discrete-valued control via convex optimization. The idea is to enhance the discreteness by minimizing the sum-of-absolute-values cost function. Under mild conditions, the optimal control is shown to be discrete-valued control on a given alphabet.

Why is it important?
Discrete-valued control is important in networked control systems such as cyber-physical systems (CPS), the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, etc. This paper proposes a solution to this problem that can be easily obtained by numerical convex optimization.
