Abstract

The problem of control in the presence of unknown but limited disturbance for a discrete-time linear system with polyhedral input and state bounds is investigated. Two problems are considered: that of reaching an assigned target set in the state space; and that of keeping the state in a given region using the available controls. In both cases, a solution is given via linear programming. A computational procedure for the control synthesis is proposed which can be implemented to obtain a feedback control.
