Robust H/sub /spl infin// control of singular continuous-time systems with delays and uncertainties

We study the problem of H/sub /spl infin// control of singular linear continuous-time systems with parametric uncertainty. The system under consideration is subjected to time-delay in both state and control, and norm-bounded parametric uncertainty entering all matrices of the system and output equations. First, the problem of robust stabilization of the underlying system is investigated. Next, we address the problem of robust H/sub /spl infin// state feedback control in which both robust stability and a prescribed H/sub /spl infin// performance are required to be achieved irrespective of the uncertainty and time-delay. It is shown that the above control problem can be solved if a Riccati-like inequality has a symmetric positive definite solution.
