Applications of Robust Control to Nonlinear Systems

Chapter 8: Computer Algorithms

The following sections cover the computer algorithms used in developing the work contained within this book.

I. H ? Optimization

Using the formulation for the H ? optimization problem from Chapter 3, Section II, the optimal H ? norm and the optimal or suboptimal H ? controller can be computed. It is assumed that D 12 is of full column rank, and that D 21 is of full row rank. The inputs and outputs are scaled so that the assumptions D 21 = [0 I] and D 12 = [0 I] T are satisfied.13

A. Scaling of D 12 and D 21

Step 1: Compute the singular value decomposition for D 12 (see Ref. 9).

(8.1)

Define:

(8.2)

and

(8.3)

Then:

(8.4)

Step 2: Compute the singular value decomposition for D 21 (see Ref. 9).

(8.5)

Define:

(8.6)

and

(8.7)

Then:

(8.8)

Step 3: Scale the inputs and outputs.56

Define the scaled inputs v s, u s, and the new outputs z s, y s as follows:

(8.9)
(8.10)
(8.11)
(8.12)

The new generalized plant G( s) (i.e., the transfer function from [ ] to [ ] has the following state space realization:

(8.13)

where

(8.14)
(8.15)
(8.16)
(8.17)
(8.18)
(8.19)
(8.20)
(8.21)
(8.22)

An optimal (or suboptimal) controller is then generated based on the scaled generalized plant G( s). By definition, this controller has...
