Guaranteed cost control of stochastic uncertain systems with slope bounded nonlinearities via the use of dynamic multipliers
This paper presents a new approach to constructive output feedback robust nonlinear guaranteed cost controller design. The approach involves a class of controllers which include copies of the slope bounded nonlinearities occurring in the plant. Dynamic multipliers are introduced to exploit these repeated nonlinearities. The linear part of the controller is synthesized using minimax LQG control theory. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
