Finite-frequency fixed-order dynamic output-feedback control via a homogeneous polynomially parameter-dependent technique

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of fixed-order dynamic output-feedback (DOF) control for linear polytopic systems over finite-frequency ranges. Firstly, based on the generalized Kalman–Yakubovich-Popov lemma, we formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite-frequency disturbance-attenuation performance as bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs), which are known to be NP-hard. In light of the homogeneous polynomially parameter-dependent technique, we construct relaxed synthesis conditions by employing higher-order decision variables dependent on the uncertainty parameter. To address the BMI problem, we develop an iterative procedure, under which feasible solutions to the original non-convex programming are achieved by vicariously solving a sequence of tractable convex approximations. Finally, we verify the efficacy of the theoretical results by an active suspension system.
