Mixed H(2)/H(sub infinity): Control with output feedback compensators using parameter optimization

摘要

Among the many possible norm-based optimization methods, the concept of H-infinity optimal control has gained enormous attention in the past few years. Here the H-infinity framework, based on the Small Gain Theorem and the Youla Parameterization, effectively treats system uncertainties in the control law synthesis. A design approach involving a mixed H(sub 2)/H-infinity norm strives to combine the advantages of both methods. This advantage motivates researchers toward finding solutions to the mixed H(sub 2)/H-infinity control problem. The approach developed in this research is based on a finite time cost functional that depicts an H-infinity bound control problem in a H(sub 2)-optimization setting. The goal is to define a time-domain cost function that optimizes the H(sub 2)-norm of a system with an H-infinity-constraint function.
