Abstract

A feedback control-design problem involving structured plant parameter uncertainties is considered. Two robust control-design issues are addressed. The Robust Stability Problem involves deterministic bounded structured parameter variations, while the Robust Performance Problem includes, in addition, a quadratic performance criterion averaged over stochastic disturbances and maximized over the admissible parameter variations. The optimal projection approach to fixed-order, dynamic compensation is merged with the guaranteed cost control approach to robust stability and performance to obtain a theory of full- and reduced-order robust control design. The principle result is a sufficient condition for characterizing dynamic controllers of fixed dimension which are guaranteed to provide both robust stability and performance. The sufficient conditions involve a system of modified Riccati and Lyapunov equations coupled by an oblique projection and the uncertainty bounds. The full-order result involves a system of two modified Riccati equations and two modified Lyapunov equations coupled by the uncertainty bounds. The coupling illustrates the breakdown of the separation principle for LQG control with structured plant parameter variations.
