Abstract

A finite-horizon H ∞ state-feedback control problem for singularly-perturbed linear time-dependent systems with a small state delay is considered. Two approaches to the asymptotic analysis and solution of this problem are proposed. In the first approach, an asymptotic solution of the singularly-perturbed system of functional-differential equations of Riccati type, associated with the original H ∞ problem by the sufficient conditions of the existence of its solution, is constructed. Based on this asymptotic solution, conditions for the existence of a solution of the original H ∞ problem, independent of the small parameter of singular perturbations, are derived. A simplified controller with parameter-independent gain matrices, solving the original H ∞ problem for all sufficiently small values of this parameter, is obtained. In the second approach, the original H ∞ problem is decomposed into two lower-dimensional parameter-independent H ∞ subproblems, the reduced-order (slow) and the boundary-layer (fast) subproblems; controllers solving these subproblems are constructed. Based on these controllers, a composite controller is derived, which solves the original H ∞ problem for all sufficiently small values of the singular perturbation parameter. An illustrative example is presented.
