On Barriers in State and Input Constrained Nonlinear Systems

Optimization and Control 2013-09-11 v1

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of state and input constrained control is addressed, with multidimensional constraints. We obtain a local description of the boundary of the admissible subset of the state space where the state and input constraints can be satisfied \emph{for all times}. This boundary is made of two disjoint parts: the subset of the state constraint boundary on which there are trajectories pointing towards the interior of the admissible set or tangentially to it; and a barrier, namely a semipermeable surface which is constructed via a minimum-like principle.
