Time-multiplied guaranteed cost control of linear delay systems

This paper investigates the design of guaranteed cost controllers for a class of linear systems with a state delay using a time-multiplied linear quadratic cost function. Based on delay-dependent and delay-independent stability criteria, guaranteed cost controllers can be constructed via solutions to linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) such that the resulting closed-loop system is stable and a specified time-multiplied linear integral-quadratic cost function has an upper bound. By the cone complementary linearization method, delay-dependent state feedback controllers can be derived in terms of LMIs. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 by ASME.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
