State space formulas for stable rational matrix solutions of a Leech problem
Given stable rational matrix functions and , a procedure is presented
to compute a stable rational matrix solution to the Leech problem
associated with and , that is, and . The solution is given in the form of a state space
realization, where the matrices involved in this realization are computed from
state space realizations of the data functions and .Comment: 25 page
All solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting problem
A new description is given of all solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting
problem. The method of proof is also different from earlier ones, and uses only
an operator-valued version of a classical lemma on harmonic majorants.Comment: 15 page
State space formulas for a suboptimal rational Leech problem II: Parametrization of all solutions
For the strictly positive case (the suboptimal case), given stable rational
matrix functions and , the set of all solutions to the
Leech problem associated with and , that is, and
, is presented as the range of a linear
fractional representation of which the coefficients are presented in state
space form. The matrices involved in the realizations are computed from state
space realizations of the data functions and . On the one hand the
results are based on the commutant lifting theorem and on the other hand on
stabilizing solutions of algebraic Riccati equations related to spectral
factorizations.Comment: 28 page
Equivalence of robust stabilization and robust performance via feedback
One approach to robust control for linear plants with structured uncertainty
as well as for linear parameter-varying (LPV) plants (where the controller has
on-line access to the varying plant parameters) is through
linear-fractional-transformation (LFT) models. Control issues to be addressed
by controller design in this formalism include robust stability and robust
performance. Here robust performance is defined as the achievement of a uniform
specified -gain tolerance for a disturbance-to-error map combined with
robust stability. By setting the disturbance and error channels equal to zero,
it is clear that any criterion for robust performance also produces a criterion
for robust stability. Counter-intuitively, as a consequence of the so-called
Main Loop Theorem, application of a result on robust stability to a feedback
configuration with an artificial full-block uncertainty operator added in
feedback connection between the error and disturbance signals produces a result
on robust performance. The main result here is that this
performance-to-stabilization reduction principle must be handled with care for
the case of dynamic feedback compensation: casual application of this principle
leads to the solution of a physically uninteresting problem, where the
controller is assumed to have access to the states in the artificially-added
feedback loop. Application of the principle using a known more refined
dynamic-control robust stability criterion, where the user is allowed to
specify controller partial-state dimensions, leads to correct
robust-performance results. These latter results involve rank conditions in
addition to Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions.Comment: 20 page
