Control design with arbitrary information structure constraints
In this paper, a new method is proposed for designing robust control laws that are subject to arbitrary information structure constraints. The computation of the gain matrix is formulated in terms of a static Output feedback problem, which can be efficiently solved using linear matrix inequalities. The resulting control laws ensure stability with respect to a broad class of additive nonlinear uncertainties in the system. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
