Abstract

The design of a control law guaranteeing an upper bound on the performance index of linear systems with point wise and distributed delay is addressed. The control law is computed through an iterative procedure: at each step, it is the solution that minimizes the Bellman type equation obtained from plugging in the functional of complete type associated to the closed loop system of the previous step. It is shown that at each step, the closed loop system remains into the class of systems with distributed delays, the stability of the closed loop is maintained, and the guaranteed cost does not increase. The allowed continuous time varying norm bounded uncertainties guaranteeing the cost are also characterized. An illustrative example validates the approach.
