Synthesis of H/sub 2/ optimal controllers for sampled-data systems

The authors consider an H/sub 2/ optimal control problem for sampled-data systems. After defining an H/sub 2/ norm for sampled-data systems, they give a state-space solution to the optimal controller synthesis problem. They show that the H/sub 2/ optimal control problem for a sampled-data system is equivalent to a standard H/sub 2/ optimal control problem for a related discrete-time system.<<ETX>>
