FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM FOR A CLASS OFH∞ DESIGN PROBLEMS

Abstract

This article presents a tutorial exposition of an algorithm suggested by Kwakernaak which is an alternative to the standard state space solution for a class of H∞ optimization problems. In addition, a set of formulae for the computation required is derived. From these formulae one can simply use an ordinary computer language to write a programme for the design purpose and therefore avoid an expensive expenditure on some software packages. A modification of a weighting function is also suggested. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
