The method consists of adding to a primal compensated system a nonlinear device called predictive reference filter which manipulates the desired reference in order to fulfill the prescribed constraints. Provided that an admissibility condition on the initial state is satisfied, the control scheme is proved to fulfill the constraints, as well as stability and set-point tracking requirements, for all systems whose impulse/step responses lie within given uncertainty ranges. date: 1998-04 date_type: published publication: Automatica volume: 34 number: 4 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 451-461 id_number: 10.1016/S0005-1098(97)00213-6 refereed: TRUE issn: 0005-1098 official_url: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0005109897002136 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Mosca, Edoardo Fulfilling hard constraints in uncertain linear systems by reference managing.
