H2 Optimal Control With H, Μ, And L1 Constraints, David E. Walker Jun 1994

H2 Optimal Control With H∞, Μ, And L1 Constraints, David E. Walker

Theses and Dissertations

H2 optimization with convex constraints is considered. The optimal order-free solution is shown to be unique through convex analysis. H constraints with feedforward terms and singular constraints are also allowed. The optimal fixed-order solution is shown to have the same characteristics as a mixed problem with regular H constraints. Furthermore, these results are shown to hold for controller orders as low as the optimal H2 order. A numerical method is developed based on analytical gradients which results in sub- and super-optimal fixed-order controllers. The problem is extended to include an upper bound on a mu constraint …


Mixed H2-H Optimization With Multiple H Infinity Constraints, Julio C. Ullauri Jun 1994

Mixed H2-H∞ Optimization With Multiple H Infinity Constraints, Julio C. Ullauri

Theses and Dissertations

A general mixed H2/H optimal control design with multiple H constraints is developed and applied to two systems, one SISO and the other MIMO. The SISO design model is normal acceleration command following for the F- 16. This design constitutes the validation for the numerical method, for which boundaries between the H2 design and the H constraints arc shown. The MIMO design consists of a longitudinal aircraft plant (short period and phugoid modes) with stable weights on the H2 and H transfer functions, and is linear- time-invariant. The controller order is reduced …
