\(H_\infty\) control of linear singularly perturbed systems with small state delay (Q1588418)

An infinite horizon \(H_\infty\) state-feedback control problem for singularly perturbed linear systems with a small state delay is considered. The system under consideration is: \[ \begin{aligned} \dot x & = A_1x(t)+ A_2y(t)+ H_1x(t- \varepsilon h)+ H_2y(t- \varepsilon h)+ B_1u(t)+ F_1 w(t),\\ \varepsilon\dot y(t) & = A_3x(t)+ A_4y(t)+ H_3 x(t-\varepsilon h)+ H_4y(t- \varepsilon h)+ B_2u(t)+ F_2 w(t),\\ V(t) & = \text{col}\{C_1x(t)+ C_2y(t), u(t)\},\quad t>0,\end{aligned} \] where \(x\), \(y\) are state variables, \(u\) is a control, \(w\) is an exogenous disturbance, \(v\) is a control output, \(\varepsilon> 0\) is a small parameter. An asymptotic solution of the hybrid system of Riccati type algebraic, ordinary differential, and partial differential equations with deviating arguments, associated with this \(H_\infty\) control problem, is constructed. Based on this asymptotic solution, conditions for the existence of a solution of the original \(H_\infty\) problem, independent of the singular perturbation parameter, are derived. A simplified controller with parameter-independent gain matrices, solving the original problem for all sufficiently small values of this parameter, is obtained. An illustrative example is presented.
