On H/sub 2/ control of systems with multiple I/O delays

The H/sub 2/ optimal control problem of systems with multiple I/O delays is solved. The problem is tackled by first transforming it to what is called the two-sided regulator problem. The latter is solved using orthogonal projection arguments and spectral factorization. The resulting controller is an interconnection of rational blocks, nonrational blocks having finite impulse response, and delay operators, all of which are implementable.
