Sampled-data output regulation of unstable well-posed infinite-dimensional systems with constant reference and disturbance signals

Abstract

We study the sample-data control problem of output tracking and disturbance rejection for unstable well-posed linear infinite-dimensional systems with constant reference and disturbance signals. We obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of finite-dimensional sampled-data controllers that are solutions of this control problem. To this end, we study the problem of output tracking and disturbance rejection for infinite-dimensional discrete-time systems and propose a design method of finite-dimensional controllers by using a solution of the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem with both interior and boundary conditions. We apply our results to systems with state and output delays.
