Saturated Output Regulation of Distributed Parameter Systems with Collocated Actuators and Sensors

Abstract

<p>This paper addresses the problem of output regulation of infinite-dimensional linear systems subject to input saturation. We focus on strongly stabilizable linear dissipative systems with collocated actuators and sensors. We generalize the output regulation theory for finite-dimensional linear systems subject to input saturation to the class of considered infinite-dimensional linear systems. The theoretic results are illustrated with an example where we consider the output regulation of a flexible satellite model that is composed of two identical flexible solar panels and a center rigid body.</p>
