Robust H∞ control for linear systems withnorm-bounded time-varying uncertainty

Robust H_∞ control design for linear systems with uncertainty in both the state and input matrices is treated. A state feedback control design which stabilizes the plant and guarantees an H_∞-norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation for all admissible uncertainties is presented. The robust H_∞ control problem is solved via the notion of quadratic stabilization with an H_∞ -norm bound. Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stabilization with an H_∞-norm bound are derived. The results can be regarded as extensions of existing results on H_∞ control and robust stabilization of uncertain linear systems
