In this paper, the input covariance constraint (ICC) control problem is solved by convex optimization subject to linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) constraints. The ICC control problem is an optimal control problem that is concerned to obtain the best output performance subject to multiple constraints on the input covariance matrices. The contribution of this paper is the characterization of the control synthesis LMIs used to solve the ICC control problem. Both continuous- and discrete-time problems are considered. To validate our scheme in real-world systems, ICC control based on convex optimization approach was used to control the position of an electronic throttle plate. The controller performance compared experimentally with a well-tuned base-line proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Comparison results showed that not only better performance has been achieved but also the required control energy for the ICC controller is lower than that of the base-line controller.

In this paper, the state-feedback mixed H2/H∞ control problem for state-delayed linear systems is considered. Sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem are given in terms of the solution to a pair of algebraic Riccati equations similar to the nondelayed case. However, these Riccati equations are more difficult to solve than those arising in the pure H2,H∞ problems, and an alternative approach is to solve a pair of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).

The current work addresses the control of two-input two-output (TITO) Wood and Berry model of a binary distillation column. The controller design problem is formulated in terms of multivariable H∞ control synthesis. The controller structure takes the form of simplest static output feedback (SOF) control. The controller synthesis is performed using a hybrid approach of blending linear matrix inequalities (LMI) and genetic algorithm (GA). The performance of the static output feedback controller is compared with three other controllers designed for Wood and Berry model available in the literature. The first simulation study is performed for the case of tracking a unit step command in the presence of a step change in output disturbance. A second simulation study is performed for rejecting a change in sinusoidal output disturbance.

This paper investigates the antiwindup (AW) control problem for plants with input saturation. The AW compensator is not activated as soon as input saturation occurs as usual. A delayed decoupling structure is first proposed. Then, appropriate linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are developed to determine a plant-order AW compensator. Effectiveness of the presented AW technique is illustrated by a fighter aircraft model.

In this paper, a new method for designing controller for linear switching systems with varying delay is presented concerning the Hurwitz-Convex combination. For stability analysis the Lyapunov-Krasovskii function is used. The stability analysis results are given based on the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and it is possible to obtain upper delay bound that guarantees the stability of system by solving the linear matrix inequalities. Compared with the other methods, the proposed controller can be used to get a less conservative criterion and ensures the stability of linear switching systems with time-varying delay in which delay has way larger upper bound in comparison with the delay bounds that are considered in other methods. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method.
