Abstract¶
Simple state-space formulas are derived for all controllers solving the following standard H/sub infinity / problem: For a given number gamma >0, find all controllers such that the H/sub infinity / norm of the closed-loop transfer function is (strictly) less than gamma . It is known that a controller exists if and only if the unique stabilizing solutions to two algebraic Riccati equations are positive definite and the spectral radius of their product is less than gamma /sup 2/. Under these conditions, a parameterization of all controllers solving the problem is given as a linear fractional transformation (LFT) on a contractive, stable, free parameter. The state dimension of the coefficient matrix for the LFT, constructed using the two Riccati solutions, equals that of the plant and has a separation structure reminiscent of classical LQG (i.e. H/sub 2/) theory. This paper is intended to be of tutorial value, so a standard H/sub 2/ solution is developed in parallel.
