Output regulation of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems

In this paper, the state feedback regulator problem of nonlinear singularly perturbed systems is discussed. It is shown that, under standard assumptions, this problem is solvable if and only if a certain nonlinear partial differential equation is solvable. Once this equation is solvable, a feedback law which solves the problem can easily be constructed. The developed control law is applied to a nonlinear chemical process.
