It consists of adding to a primal compensated system a nonlinear device called predictive reference filter (PRF) which manipulates the desired trajectory 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 and be asymptotically stable for all the systems whose impulse-response and step-response descriptions lie within given uncertainty ranges KW - asymptotic stability; filtering theory; linear systems; nonlinear filters; predictive control; robust control; step response; transient response; uncertain systems AV - none TI - Robust nonlinear reference filtering for constrained linear systems with uncertain impulse/step responses UR - http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=573717&isnumber=12402 ID - eprints597 T2 - Decision and Control Conference EP - 3528 ER -
