Delay-dependent dissipative control for linear time-delay systems

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent dissipative control for a class of linear time-delay systems. We develop the design methods of dissipative static state feedback and dynamic output feedback controllers such that the closed-loop system is quadratically stable and strictly (Q, S, R)-dissipative. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the quadratic dissipative controllers are obtained by using linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Furthermore, a procedure of constructing such controllers from the solutions of LMIs is given. It is shown that the solvability of a dissipative controller design problem is implied by the feasibility of LMIs. The main results of this paper unify the existing results on H-infinity control and passive control. (C) 2002 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
