Iterative LMI approach to robust static output feedback control of uncertain polynomial systems with bounded actuators

Abstract

This paper presents a novel static output feedback stabilization of polynomial systems with bounded actuators. We propose a new sufficient condition for static output feedback design for nominal polynomial systems with constraints on input magnitudes. In the proposed stabilization condition, the system matrices and the Lyapunov matrices are separated, and hence parameterization of the controller is independent of the Lyapunov matrices. The main result is the novel parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions that are readily applied to robust static output feedback design of polynomial systems subject to parametric uncertainty. The proposed design conditions are bilinear in the decision variables. Hence, we provide iterative algorithms to solve the design problems. At each iteration, the design condition is cast as parameter-dependent linear matrix inequalities using the sum-of-squares technique and can be efficiently solved. The proposed approach leads to enhanced static output feedback design with computationally tractable formulation. Effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by numerical examples.
