The issue of tracking a desired reference signal in the presence of external disturbances is a classic control problem that resides at the core of control engineering. This is referred to as the output regulation problem. In this book the output regulation problem is examined in depth. New, highly significant dimensions are added to the problem and all pertinent topics associated with it are discussed. These topics include:* Analysis and design of controllers for the output regulation problem subject to physical constraints on actuators such as amplitude and rate saturation* Incorporating transient performance requirements into output regulation problem formulation, thus creating an optimal framework for the output regulation problem* Uniting the output regulation problem formulation with other performance requirements of modern control theory such as H2 and H optimal and suboptimal performance criteria* Opening up a novel framework of output regulation problem formulation in order to enlarge the class of signals dealt with whilst at the same time adding new possibilitiesThis book is designed to meet the needs of a variety of readers including practising control engineers, graduate students, and researchers in control engineering.
