Stable H-infinity controller design for time-delay systems
This paper investigates stable suboptimal H-infinity controllers for a class of single-input single-output time-delay systems. For a given plant and weighting functions, the optimal controller minimizing the mixed sensitivity (and the central suboptimal controller) may be unstable with finitely or infinitely many poles in C+. For each of these cases, search algorithms are proposed to find stable suboptimal H-infinity controllers. These design methods are illustrated with examples.
