Robust stabilization for a class of discrete-time non-linear systems via output feedback: The unified LMI approach

Abstract

This paper discusses a robust stabilization problem for a class of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) discrete-time non-linear systems with both state and control inputs containing non-linear perturbations. The problem is solved via static output feedback and dynamic output feedback, respectively. A unified approach is used to cast the problem into a convex optimization involving linear matrix inequalities (LMI), all the controllers can robustly stabilize the systems and maximize the bound on the non-linear perturbations. This paper also extends the output feedback centralized design approach to a class of discrete-time MIMO non-linear decentralized systems, both robust static and dynamic output feedback controllers are obtained.
