An iterative method for mixed /spl Hscr//sub 2///spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// control design with uncommon LMI solutions

Attempts to solve the state-feedback H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// control problem by a LMI technique that allows for uncommon LMI solutions. In order to obtain a common controller ensuring the two performance criteria while allowing uncommon LMI solutions, we figure out what portion of the LMI solution should be constrained. Then, utilizing the freedom of the unconstrained portion, we propose an iterative method to obtain an updated controller gain which further improves the H/sub 2/ performance under the /spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// constraint. An illustrated example is included.
