L/sub 1/ analysis and design of sampled-data systems

The focus of this work is L/sub 1/-optimal control of sampled-data systems. A converging approximation procedure is derived to compute the L/sub infinity /-induced norm of closed-loop finite-dimensional linear time-invariant (LTI) sampled-data systems. An approximation method is developed to synthesize L/sub 1/-optimal sampled-data regulators. Finally, an example is provided that illustrates the L/sub 1/ analysis and design techniques presented.<>
