Perfect Elimination of Regulation Transients in Discrete-Time LPV Systems via Internally Stabilizable Robust Controlled Invariant Subspaces

This note introduces a geometric solution to the problem of perfect elimination of regulation transients in discrete-time, linear systems subject to swift and wide, a priori-known, parameter variations. The constructive proof of the conditions for problem solvability requires a preliminary, strictly geometric interpretation of the multivariable autonomous regulator problem, specifically aimed at discrete-time, linear systems. The novel concept of internal stabilizability of a robust controlled invariant subspace plays a key role in the formulation of those conditions as well as in the synthesis of the control scheme.
