Quadratic Stabilization of LPV System by an LTI Controller Based on ILMI Algorithm

A linear time-invariant (LTI) output feedback controller is designed for a linear parameter-varying (LPV) control system to achieve quadratic stability. The LPV system includes immeasurable dependent parameters that are assumed to vary in a polytopic space. To solve this control problem, a heuristic algorithm is proposed in the form of an iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) formulation. Furthermore, an effective method of setting an initial value of the ILMI algorithm is also proposed to increase the probability of getting an admissible solution for the controller design problem.
