Implicit improved vertex control for uncertain, time-varying linear discrete-time systems with state and control constraints
The problem of regulating an uncertain and/or time-varying linear discrete-time system with state and control constraints to the origin is addressed. It is shown that feasibility and a robustly asymptotically stable closed loop can be achieved using an interpolation technique. The design method can be seen as an alternative to optimization-based control schemes such as Robust Model Predictive Control. Especially for problems requiring complex calculations to find the optimal solution, the present method can provide a straightforward suboptimal solution. A simulation demonstrates the performance of this class of constrained controllers. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
