Abstract

This paper proposes a reference management technique for closed-loop systems with input constraints. A management rule is given by a nonlinear continuous time differential system based on the input-to-state stability and the control Lyapunov approach.Moreover, we confirm the effectiveness of our proposed method by computer simulation.
