Relaxed LMI Condition for Output Feedback Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Discrete-Time Systems

This paper studies the output feedback guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain discrete-time systems. The uncertainty is of the linear fractional form. A new relaxed LMI condition is given based on a recently developed stability condition. An extra variable is introduced to obtain a less conservative result. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated with an example to compare with previous results. This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation of China, Grant 10472001.
