The Linear Periodic Output Regulation Problem

The problem of asymptotic output regulation for linear systems driven by time-varying, T-periodic exosystems is considered in this paper. Necessary and sufficient condition for its solvability based on the existence of periodic solutions of differential Sylvester equations are derived. These conditions constitute a generalization to the periodic case of the celebrated algebraic regulator equations of Francis. A general algorithm for the synthesis of an error-feedback regulator is given. For the special case of minimum-phase systems, it is shown that the regulator design can be carried out without the knowledge of the Floquet decomposition of the exosystem. The issue of robust regulation by error feedback is also briefly addressed.
