Abstract: The paper deals with a new procedure for robust output feedback controller design providing affine quadratic stability. The developed procedure leads to a noniterative LMI based algorithm. The proposed affine robust controller applied to a plant consisting of two co-operating DC servomotors was evaluated using affine quadratic and quadratic stability test.

the availability of many approaches and numerical algorithms.

For many real processes a controller design has to cope with the effect of uncertainties. which vel) often causes poor performance or even instability of the closed-loop systems. Considering these facts. the stability and performance robustness are of great practical importance and have attracted a lot of interest for several decades.

The theory of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) (Boyd. et al.. 1994) has been used in several design methods (Benton and Smith. 1999: Li Yu and Jian Chu. 1999). Most of above works present iterative algorithms in which a set of equations or a set of LMls is repeated until certain convergence criteria are met. The authors in (Kose and Jabbari. 1999) have studied conditions under which the designed output feedback controllers can be divided into two stages and the dynamic output feedback can be obtained. Authors in (Benton and Smith. 1999) have proposed an LMI based algorithm. which does not require iteration of LMI problems. The goal is to eliminate the need for iteration b) an appropriate choice of initializing state feedback matrix. The proposed algorithm can be used to robustly stabilize a pol)10pic system via static output feedback.

The output feedback problem is one of the most important open questions of control engineering. In a simple way. the problem can be formulated as follows: for a gi\en complex linear system a robust controller \\ ith output feedback is to be found. which would provide some desirable characteristics to the closed-loop system. or determine that such a feedback does not exist. During the last two decades numerous papers dealing with the design of robust output feedback control schemes to stabilize such systems have been published (Benton and Smith. 1999: Goh. et 0.1.. 1996: Iwasaki. et al.. 1994: Kose and Jabbari. 1999: Li Yu and Jian Chu. 1999: Vesel). 2000). In the above papers. the authors basically conclude that the problem of static output feedback is still open despite

In this paper one approach to the robust controller design has been developed. The new necessary and sufficient conditions to stabilize continuous time systems via static output feedback are used to design the robust controller. The proposed method is based

401

on the results of (Gahinet, el aI., 1996) to design a robust output feedback controller for linear continuous-time systems. which ensures affine quadratic closed loop stability. The proposed method for polytope systems leads to a non-iterative LMl based algorithm. For this method the designer can prescribe the structure of output feedback controller.

where Q = QT ~ 0 and R = R T ~ 0 are matrices of compatible dimensions. The nominal model of the system ( I) is

The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 the problem formulation and some preliminary results are presented. The main results are given in Section 3. In Section 4 the obtained theoretical results are applied to an example. We use a standard notation. A real symmetric positive (negative) definite matrix P is denoted by p > 0 (p < 0). Much of the notation and terminology complies with the references (Benton and Smith. 1999: Boyd. el aI., 1994; Kucera and De Souza.1995).

X(/) = AX(/) + BU(/) Y(/) = CX(/)

The following lemma is well known (Lankaster. 1969). Lemma I. Suppose P > 0 to be the solution of the following Lyapunov matrix equation

(7)

In the context of robustness analysis and synthesis of robust controllers for linear time invariant systems the following uncertain model is commonly used

X(/)= (A + 8A)x(/) + (B + 8B)u(/)

Y(/)= CX(/)

Then A is stable iff Q > 0 . If such P exists, we say that the matrix A is quadratically stable. A linear time invariant system is stable if and only if it is quadratically stable. It is possible. however. that e.g. linear polytopic systems can be stable without being quadratically stable (Boyd. et aI., 1994).

3. OUTPUT FEEDBACK CONTROLLER DESIG In this paragraph we present a new procedure to design a static output feedback controller for continuous-time systems guaranteeing affine quadratic closed loop stability. This section is concerned with a class of uncertain polytope linear systems that can be described by state-space equations of the form

where A,. B, are known matrices: £, are unknown parameters. In general. the polytope characterization of uncertainties results in less conservative controller designs than using other characterizations of uncertainty (Boyd. et al.. 1994).
