ROBUST H 2 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAIN LTI SYSTEMS VIA POLYNOMIALLY PARAMETER-DEPENDENT LYAPUNOV FUNCTIONS

In this paper, we address the robust H2 performance analysis problems of linear time-invariant polytopic-type uncertain systems. To obtain numerically verifiable and less conservative analysis conditions, we employ polynomially parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions (PPDLFs) to assess the robust H2 performance and give a sufficient condition for the existence of such PPDLFs in terms of finitely many linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The resulting LMI conditions turn out to be a natural extension of those known as extended or dilated LMIs in the literature, where the PDLFs employed were restricted to those depending affinely on the uncertain parameters. It is shown that, by increasing the degree of PPDLFs, we can obtain more accurate (no more conservative) analysis results at the expense of increased computational burden. Exactness of the proposed analysis conditions as well as their computational complexity will be examined through numerical experiments.
