H_∞ control of parameter-dependent state-delayed systems using polynomial parameter-dependent quadratic functions

Abstract

This paper presents the issue of robust disturbance attenuation and robust asymptotic stability problem for finite-dimensional linear parameter-dependent state-delayed systems. The use of polynomial parameter-dependent quadratic Lyapunov functions and linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) formulations for robust H∞control are considered. It is shown that the state feedback control can be determined to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system independently of the time-delay. We present an illustrative example to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed design approach. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd.
