Nonlinear H infinity control and related problems of homogeneous systems (Q4955053)

The problem of \(H_{\infty}\) control of systems of type \(\dot x = f(x)+B_1 u+B_2 w\), \(z=h(x)+Du\) is investigated, where \(f\) is a homogeneous vector field of degree \(k\), \(h\) is a homogeneous function of degree \(k\) and \(B_1\), \(B_2\), \(D\) are constant matrices. First, the \(L_2\) gain of homogeneous systems with asymptotically stable free parts is studied. Then the main result of the paper is proved for the case \(B_1 =B_2\) under an assumption similar to the assumption given in \textit{A. Andreini, A. Bacciotti} and \textit{G. Stefani} [Syst. Control Lett. 10, 251-256 (1988; Zbl 0653.93040)]. This result states the solvability of the \(H_{\infty }\) control problem, and gives a corresponding control law. The extensions of these results are formulated for the case when the so-called matching condition holds, and for the general case, as well. Further, homogeneous systems with higher order disturbance are studied. Finally, the analysis of finite test of homogeneous systems with perturbed parameters is given.
