Mixed L/sup /spl infin///H/sub /spl infin// suboptimal controllers for SISO continuous-time systems

A successful controller design paradigm must take into account both model uncertainty and performance specifications. Model uncertainty can be addressed using the H/sub /spl infin// robust control framework. However, this framework cannot accommodate the realistic case where in addition to robustness considerations, the system is subject to time-domain performance specifications. In this paper the authors present a design procedure for suboptimal L/sup /spl infin///H/sub /spl infin// controllers. These controllers allow for minimizing the maximum amplitude of the time-response due to a specified input, while, at the same time, addressing model uncertainty through bounds on the H/sub /spl infin// norm of a relevant transfer function. The main result of the paper shows that suboptimal rational controllers can be obtained by solving a finite dimensioned convex constrained optimization problem and a standard unconstrained H/sub /spl infin// problem.<<ETX>>
