An approach based on an algebraic Riccati equation for designing an observer-based H∞ reduced-order controller is provided. The advantage of this approach is that through pole-zero cancellation, we only need to solve one algebraic Riccati equation during the design process. The scheme can guarantee that the closed-loop system is stable and the closed-loop transfer function satisfi... View full abstract»

A definition of poles is presented for continuous-time, linear, time-varying systems. For a linear, time-varying state equation, a set of time-varying poles defines a stability-preserving variable change relating the original state equation to an upper triangular state equation. This definition is shown to be a generalization of existing definitions of poles of a linear, time-varying system and is... View full abstract»
