Integral Action in Output Feedback for Multi-Input Multi-Output Nonlinear Systems
We address a particular problem of output regulation for multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems. Specifically, we are interested in making the stability of an equilibrium point and the regulation to zero of an output robust to (small) unmodelled discrepancies between design model and actual system in particular those introducing an offset. We propose a novel procedure which is intended to be relevant to realistic scenarios, as illustrated by a (non academic) example.
