The static output feedback stabilization problem as a concave-convex programming problem

It is shown that the static output feedback stabilization problem for linear multi-input single-output (MISO) systems can be posed as a concave-convex programming problem. This allows the potential design of minimization algorithms yielding a stabilizing static output feedback gain, if it exists, or showing that the problem is not solvable at all.
