A new extended LMI-based robust gain scheduled state feedback H 2 controller design

Abstract

This paper proposes an improved robust H 2 state feedback control synthesis for the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems by attaining the affine quadratic stability. In place of standard H 2 computation in the literature, a new H 2 computation based on extended Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) is improved by means of the slack variable, where it is obtained by separation Lyapunov matrix from system matrix. State feedback H 2 synthesis is improved for the systems, and is more effective and less conservative than the common ones in the literature. Therefore, the less conservative results are obtained for gain scheduling controller design for LPV systems. The numerical examples are presented to show the superiority of the proposed controller design.
