Abstract
The present invention provides a controller and a control method for an internal combustion engine, which can suppress the generation of an annoying collision noise and abnormal heating of a motor of an actuator, which are generated by contact of the output shaft of the actuator with an opening side stopper of the actuator. The controller and the control method for the internal combustion engine are configured such that a target opening (Sv) of the valve is set to the smaller of: a required target opening (Sv_dem) computed so that a target supercharging pressure (Sp) and an actual supercharging pressure (Pp) are matched with each other; and a restricted target opening (Sv_lmt) computed based on a fully closed position learning value (Pv_lrn), which corresponds to an actual position detected by a position sensor, when the valve is located in the fully closed position, and on the restricted target position.
