H2 Suboptimal Estimation and Control for Nonnegative Dynamical Systems

Linear matrix inequalities provide a powerful design framework for linear control problems. In this paper, we use linear matrix inequalities to develop H

(sub)optimal estimators and controllers for nonnegative dynamical systems. Specifically, we formulate a series of generalized eigenvalue problems subject to a set of linear matrix inequality constraints for designing H
