On the robustness of LQ regulators for discrete-time systems

A sufficient condition for quadratic stabilizability of uncertain linear discrete-time systems using LQ regulators is presented. The true system is represented by a nominal model plus additive terms representing the most common types of uncertainties in the state and input matrices. Sufficient robustness bounds as well as a robustification procedure for discrete-time LQ regulators are presented and the conservativeness of the proposed condition is discussed.<
