Hierarchically supervised output regulation of linear plants with unpredictable parameter step changes
Abstract
A piece-wise time-invariant, linear process is defined allowing it to switch, from time to time, from the actual configuration to another one of a given family of linear, time-invariant plants. When and where switching occurs is not a priori known. It is required to find a stabilizing set-point following controller yielding an output step response with some desired specifications. The solution proposed is given by the connection of multiple families of linear controllers with a hierarchically supervised switching scheme.
