Brief Paper Achievable performance bounds for tall MIMO systems

摘要

In this study, a methodology to compute achievable performance bounds for non-right-invertible, stable, discrete-time MIMO systems is proposed. This methodology is based on the definition of a new performance index, which is the cumulative, squared and exponentially weighted tracking error to a step reference. The results include expressions for the optimal value of this performance index and for the Youla parameter that is able to achieve such performance. For a particular class of single-input multiple-output plants, closed-form expressions depending on the dynamic features of the plant are also obtained. A discussion on the selection of the speed of decay of the exponential weight and its influence on optimal closed-loop stability is included. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results.
