Remarks on Strong Stabilization and Stable H-infinity Controller Design

Abstract

A state space based design method is given to find strongly stabilizing controllers for multiple-input-multiple-output plants (MIMO). A sufficient condition is derived for the existence of suboptimal stable H-infinity controller in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and the controller order is twice that of the plant. A new parameterization of strongly stabilizing controllers is determined using linear fractional transformations (LFTs).
