H∞ model reduction for uncertain two-dimensional discrete systems

This paper investigates the problem of H∞ model reduction for two-dimensional (2-D) discrete systems with parameter uncertainties residing in a polytope. For a given robustly stable system, our attention is focused on the construction of a reduced-order model, which also resides in a polytope and approximates the original system well in an H∞ norm sense. Both Fornasini-Marchesini local state-space (FMLSS) and Roesser models are considered through parameter-dependent approaches, with sufficient conditions obtained for the existence of admissible reduced-order solutions. Since these obtained conditions are not expressed as strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), the cone complementary linearization method is exploited to cast them into sequential minimization problems subject to LMI constraints, which can be readily solved using standard numerical software. In addition, the development of zeroth order models is also presented. Two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed theories.
