Abstract :
This paper presents an output-feedback Receding-Horizon (RH) control algorithm for nonlinear discrete-time systems which solves the problem of tracking exogenous signals and asymptotically rejecting disturbances generated by a properly defined exosystem. The overall regulator is composed by an internal model of the exosystem and a stabilizing RH regulator. In turn, this regulator is made by a state feedback control law and an asymptotic state observer, for example an Extended Kalman Filter. Some robustness results are also achieved in the case of constant references.
