ℋ2 gain-scheduled design subject to inexact measurements: performance comparison of two models for additive uncertainty

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of ℋ 2 gain-scheduled design (control and filtering) for LPV systems where the scheduling parameters are affected by additive noises. The purpose is to analyze the impact on the ℋ 2 performance of two models commonly used to model the additive uncertainty, one considering that the bounds for the noise parameters are dependent of the values of the scheduling parameters (the saturation effect is taken into account) and the other not. In this sense, a control design example is presented to illustrate that if the saturation effect is considered, a finite and smaller upper bound to the ℋ 2 norm is achieved and, on the other hand, if the saturation is neglected, the system may be not stabilized. A filter design example is also presented to show that both the ℋ 2 guaranteed cost and the associated time-dependent performance indexes (MSE and SD MSE ) are reduced when considering saturation.
