Reference Governor Design

Reference Governor Design is a control system framework that modifies reference inputs to a dynamic system in real time to ensure constraint satisfaction while preserving convergence to the desired setpoint, distinguishing itself from conventional feedback controllers by proactively adjusting the reference rather than the control input.
