Exact stability analysis of 2-D systems using LMIs
In this note, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) systems in terms linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). By introducing a guardian map for the set of Schur stable complex matrices, we first reduce the stability analysis problems into nonsingularity analysis problems of parameter-dependent complex matrice. Then, by means of the discrete-time positive real lemma and the generalized S-procedure, we derive LMI-based conditions that enable us to analyte the asymptotic stability in an exact (i.e., nonconservative) fashion. It turns out that, by employing the generalized S-procedure, we can derive smaller size of LMIs so that the computational burden can be reduced.
