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 date: 1996 date_type: published publication: Proc. 35th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control volume: 3 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: Kobe, Japan, December 1996 pagerange: 3527-3528 event_dates: Kobe, Japan id_number: 10.1109/CDC.1996.573717 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-3590-2 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=573717&isnumber=12402 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Mosca, Edoardo Robust nonlinear reference filtering for constrained linear systems with uncertain impulse/step responses.
