Stabilizability LMI

A system is stabilizable if all unstable modes of the system are controllable. This implies that if the system is controllable, it will also be stabilizable. Thus, stabilizability is a essentially a weaker version of the controllability condition. The LMI condition for stabilizability of pair is shown below.

Conclusion: edit

If we are able to find   such that the above LMI holds it means the matrix pair   is stabilizable. In words, a system pair   is stabilizable if for any initial state   an appropriate input   can be found so that the state   asymptotically approaches the origin. Stabilizability is a weaker condition than controllability in that we only need to approach   as   whereas controllability requires that the state must reach the origin in a finite time.

Implementation edit

This implementation requires Yalmip and Sedumi.
