H/sub /spl infin// control for descriptor systems-a J-spectral factorization approach

This paper considers H/sub /spl infin// control for the plant represented by the descriptor form. Using a descriptor version of Youla parametrization, the standard H/sub /spl infin// control problem reduces to a model matching problem (MMP). The J-spectral factorization algorithm in descriptor form is then applied for solving the MMP. The present approach can solve a wider class of H/sub /spl infin// control problems than the state-space approach. A numerical example also shows the applicability of the present approach.<<ETX>>
