Static output feedback stabilization with H/sub /spl infin// performance for linear discrete-time systems

This note presents a new sufficient condition for the static output feedback stabilization of linear discrete-time systems. This new condition is expressed as a linear matrix inequality feasibility problem and hence easily tractable numerically. An extension of this condition is given in order to incorporate H/sub /spl infin// performance objectives. The applicability of the proposed approach is shown through numerical examples and compared to some recent methods.
