Guaranteed Output Feedback Control for Uncertain Systems under Control and State Constraints

This paper deals with output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems in the presence of state and control constraints. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the guaranteed viability property defined by the existence of a Lipschitz closed-loop that maintains exactly the state of the system in a given closed domain of constraints despite some bounded disturbances acting both on the dynamics and on the output. Using the notion of Lipschitz kernel of a closed set-valued map, we obtain some equivalent geometric and Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaac conditions for the guaranteed viability property. We derive an algorithm to build a guaranteed viable output feedback.
