Notes:
This work concerns the synthesis of discrete-time feedforward/feedback control systems for general nonlinear processes with stable zero dynamics. Depending on the process under consideration, the derived feedforward/feedback controllers can completely eliminate the effect of measurable disturbances and produce a prespecified linear response with respect to a reference input, or provide integral-square error optimal response to step changes in the disturbances and a prespecified linear response with respect to a reference input. In either case, the developed feedforward/feedback controllers allow for the asymptotic rejection of unmeasurable disturbances. These controllers are derived within the globally linearizing control frame-work, first under full state information and then in the absence of state measurements. The internal stability of the closed-loop system is addressed. The derived controllers are interpreted from a model-predictive point of view, and their connections with the feedforward internal model control and the model algorithmic control are established. The theoretical results are illustrated through a continuous stirred-tank reactor example.
