In this paper, we propose a new control design approach for linear fractional transformation
(LFT) systems using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions. Instead of assuming …

This paper provides a survey of results in linear parameter-varying (LPV) control that have
been validated by experiments and/or high-fidelity simulations. The LPV controller synthesis …

This paper develops a new method for the synthesis of linear parameter-varying (LPV)
controllers in discrete time. LPV plants under consideration have a linear fractional …

This paper focuses on quadratic performance analysis and output feedback gain-scheduling
synthesis for parameter-dependent systems with linear fractional representations (LFRs) …

Low-cost small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) attracted researchers and developers
around the world for use in both military and civilian applications. However, there are …

We consider a linear system whose state-space equations depend rationally on real time-
varying parameters, which are positive or bounded. Assuming that every parameter is …

This dissertation deals with linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems: linear dynamic systems
that depend on time-varying parameters. These systems appear in gain scheduling …

Every system of the form x ̇= f (x, u), y= g (x, u), where f and g are rational functions of the
state x and linear functions of the input u, possesses a linear-fractional representation (LFR) …

Commonly, controllers for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems are designed in
continuous time using a linear fractional representation (LFR) of the plant. However, the …

A linear finite-dimensional plant with rational state-space parameter dependence is
controlled using a parameter-dependent controller. The parameters are known to take on …
