| Abstract: | In this paper, a new method for the computation of the infimum for a large class of continuous‐time H∞ optimal control problem by state feedback is presented. The main ingredients of the new method include three generalized eigenvalue problems whose coefficient matrices are from a condensed form of the given system. This condensed form is computed using only orthogonal transformations which can be implemented via a numerically stable way. The superiority of the new method over the existing one given in Chen (H∞ Control and its Applications, Chapter 5. Springer: Berlin, 1997) is verified by some numerical examples.
