Abstract: A method for controlling a gas turbine including a compressor assembly including at least one variable geometry portion, a combustion chamber, and a turbine assembly. The method generates a flow rate setpoint value for fuel to be fed to the combustion chamber as a function of a desired speed of the gas turbine, computes threshold values for maintaining the fuel flow setpoint value in a given range, the threshold values depending on a thermodynamic state of the gas turbine, and controls the position of the variable geometry portion by controlling an actuator as a function of the difference between position information representative of the instantaneous position and setpoint position information. The threshold values are automatically adjusted by computation in real time as a function of the instantaneous position information of the variable geometry portion or of the difference between this position information and the setpoint position information.
