Robust Control Design for Retarded Discrete-Time Systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis and synthesis of a robust stabilizing controller for linear discrete time systems with norm-bounded time varying uncertainties. Delay independent robust stability conditions are derived and two synthesis methods are presented. One method is to construct a robust memoryless state feedback control law from the solutions of linear matrix inequalities. The other method consists of designing robust observer-based output feedback controller. The results are expressed in termes of linear matrix inequalities. A comparison with μ∕LDI tests is presented. Furthermore, numerical examples are given for illustration.
