Low-Gain Stability of Projected Integral Control for Input-Constrained Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems

We consider the problem of zeroing an error output of a nonlinear discrete-time system in the presence of constant exogenous disturbances, subject to hard convex constraints on the input signal.

Zusammenfassung:We consider the problem of zeroing an error output of a nonlinear discrete-time system in the presence of constant exogenous disturbances, subject to hard convex constraints on the input signal. The design specification is formulated as a variational inequality, and we adapt a forward-backward splitting algorithm to act as an integral controller which ensures that the input constraints are met at each time step. We establish a low-gain stability result for the closed-loop system when the plant is exponentially stable, generalizing previously known results for integral control of discrete-time systems. Specifically, it is shown that if the composition of the plant equilibrium input-output map and the integral feedback gain is strongly monotone, then the closed-loop system is exponentially stable for all sufficiently small integral gains. The method is illustrated via application to a four-tank process.
