Receding horizon output feedback control for constrained uncertain systems using periodic invariance

摘要

In this article, we consider a receding horizon output feedback control (RHOC) method for linear discrete-time systems with polytopic model uncertainties and input constraints. First, we derive a set of estimator gains and then we obtain, on the basis of the periodic invariance, a series of state feedback gains stabilising the augmented output feedback system with these estimator gains. These procedures are formulated as linear matrix inequalities. An RHOC strategy is proposed based on these state feedback and state estimator gains in conjunction with their corresponding periodically invariant sets. The proposed RHOC strategy enhances the performance in comparison with the case in which static periodic gains are used, and increases the size of the stabilisable region by introducing a degree of freedom to steer the augmented state into periodically invariant sets.
