Description
Summary:This paper considers the problem of high-performance global stabilization of an integrator chain via a bounded control at the presence of input disturbance. While nested saturated feedback (NSF) is known as the most inspiring existing solution in the literature, we shall highlight the inherent shortcomings of this approach which cause a poor performance in terms of convergence rate. Then, a novel dual-mode control scheme combining an improved NSF law with a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based model predictive controller (MPC) is developed to overcome the weaknesses of pure NSF. By offline calculations, a set of nested robust invariant attraction regions and their attributed feedback gains are computed respecting the known bound for disturbance. In online implementation, an improved NSF law is adopted (as the first mode) to bring states within the largest invariant set. The proposed LMI-based state feedback law is applied thereafter (as the second mode) to bring state vector toward the origin with a fast convergence rate. In both modes, the well-known extended state observer (ESO) is employed to effectively suppress the external disturbance. The superiority of the proposed globally stabilizing scheme in terms of faster convergence and improved disturbance rejection ability is demonstrated comparing performances of foremost existing solutions in case of a triple integrator chain.
