Characterizations are developed for parameterized, linear, dynamic feedback control laws
that can arise when linearizing a nonlinear, dynamic feedback control law for a specified …

A sequential numerical algorithm is described which obtains gains minimizing a broad class
of performance indexes, including the standard LQ case. The primary contribution is a proof …

Results on polynomial fixed-order controller design are extended to SISO gain-scheduling
with guaranteed stability and H∞ performance over the whole scheduling parameter range …

In this tutorial, an approach to the analysis and design of linear control systems based on
numerical convex optimization over closed-loop maps is presented. Convexity makes …

An iterative procedure for control design is presented. By optimizing a vector performance
index, the components of which rate different design specifications, free controller …

The authors propose a method of interpolating linear time-invariant controllers with observer
state feedback structure in order to generate a continuously varying family of controllers that …

Abstract Design of controllers for linear multi-input multi-output systems whose dynamics
depend on a time-varying parameter is studied. Design algorithms for the state feedback …
