| contents | This paper addresses the offset-free tracking problem for nonlinear systems described by a class of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). To compensate for constant disturbances and guarantee offset-free tracking in the presence of model-plant mismatches, we propose a novel reformulation of the RNN model in velocity form. Conditions based on linear matrix inequalities are then derived for the design of a nonlinear state observer and a nonlinear state-feedback controller, ensuring global or regional closed-loop stability of the origin of the velocity form dynamics. Moreover, to handle input and output constraints, a theoretically sound offset-free nonlinear model predictive control algorithm is developed. The algorithm exploits the velocity form model as the prediction model and the static controller as an auxiliary law for the definition of the terminal ingredients. Simulations on a pH-neutralisation process benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. |
