Abstract

The regulator problem with the plant stability condition is investigated by using new tools of the geometric approach, i.e., self-bounded controlled and self-hidden conditioned invariants, recently introduced by the authors. In this framework, a constructive procedure which solves the problem without eigenspaces is obtained. This procedure also includes a set of necessary and sufficient conditions which, compared with those previously known in the literature, are significantly simpler in their statement and more easily mechanized.
