A Convex Parameterization of Robustly Stabilizing Controllers

Robustness of Dynamic Systems with Parameter Uncertainties

Part of the book series: Monte Verità ((MV))

Abstract

In this paper, we mainly consider scalar linear systems whose transfer function is uncertain, but the coefficient vector of the numerator and the denominator is assumed to belong to a given convex compact set. Our main contribution is to give a convex parameterization of all controllers that simultaneously stabilize the system for all possible coefficient combinations. Finally, we note that the new parameterization allows us to optimize a certain robust performance objective by convex optimization.
