Title
Disturbance Attenuation by Measurement Feedback in Nonlinear Systems via Immersion and Algebraic Conditions
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">disturbance attenuation with internal stability</italic> for nonlinear, input-affine systems via measurement feedback. The solution to the above-mentioned problem has been provided, three decades ago, in terms of the solution to a system of coupled nonlinear, first-order partial differential equations (PDEs). As a consequence, despite the rather elegant characterisation of the solution, the presence of PDEs renders the control design synthesis almost infeasible in practice. Therefore, to circumvent such a computational bottle-neck, in this paper we provide a novel characterisation of the exact solution to the problem that does not hinge upon the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">explicit</italic> computation of the solution to any PDE. The result is achieved by considering the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">immersion</italic> of the nonlinear dynamics into an extended system for which locally positive definite functions solving the required PDEs may be directly provided in closed form <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">by relying only on the solutions to Riccati-like, state-dependent, algebraic matrix equations</italic> .
