Generalized output regulation with saturating actuators—continuous-time systems

Abstract

We have formulated in Chapter 3 the semi-globallinear feedback output regulation problem for linear systems subject to input saturation. Chapter 3 follows the traditional formulation of linear output regulation problems where the exosystem is autonomous. As a result, the disturbances and the references generated by the exosystem contain only the frequency components of the exosystem. In an effort to broaden the class of disturbance and reference signals, we formulate in this section the generalized semi-global linear feedback output regulation problem in which an external driving signal to the exosystem is included. Unlike in Chapter 13 where we considered different layers of output regulation problems under a broad category of controllers, we consider here only exact output regulation problems under the classical state as well as measurement feedback regulators. This chapter is based on the work of [33].
