A descriptor system approach to H∞ control of linear time-delay systems

The output-feedback H/sub /spl infin// control problem is solved for continuous-time, linear, retarded and neutral-type systems. A delay-dependent solution is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by using a descriptor model transformation of the system and by applying P. Park's inequality (1999) for bounding cross-terms. A state-feedback solution is derived for systems with polytopic parameter uncertainties. An output-feedback controller is then found by solving two LMIs, one of which is associated with a descriptor time-delay "innovation filter". The cases of instantaneous and delayed measurements are considered. Numerical examples are given which illustrate the effectiveness of the new theory.
