Reduced-complexity nonlinear H-infinity control of discrete-time systems
In this note, we describe a reduced-complexity solution to the nonlinear H-infinity control problem. This reduction applies to systems where some of the states are perfectly known, and is an intermediate problem between full state feedback and the standard measurement feedback problem. The reduction of computational complexity is significant and of practical importance. Online implementation is feasible with 2003 computer technology for a range of practical engineering design problems.
