Abstract
LMI (linear matrix inequality) techniques offer more flexibility in the design of dynamic linear systems than techniques that minimize a scalar functional for optimization. For linear state space models, multiple goals (performance bounds) can be characterized in terms of LMIs, and these can serve as the basis for controller optimization via finite-dimensional convex feasibility problems. LMI formulations of various standard control problems are described in this entry, including dynamic feedback stabilization, covariance control, LQR, H∞ control, and L∞ control. The integration of control and information architecture design (i.e., adding sensor/actuator precision selection to the control problem) is also shown to be a convex problem by formulating the feasibility constraints as LMIs.
