Reduced-complexity nonlinear H/sup /spl infin// control of discrete-time systems

In this note, we describe a reduced-complexity solution to the nonlinear H/sup /spl infin// control problem. This reduction applies to systems where some of the states are perfectly known, and is an intermediate problem between full state feedback and the standard measurement feedback problem. The reduction of computational complexity is significant and of practical importance. Online implementation is feasible with 2003 computer technology for a range of practical engineering design problems.
