LMIs in Control/pages/Discrete-Time HInf-Optimal Observer
In many applications, perhaps even most, the state of the system cannot be directly known. In this case, you will need to strategically to measure key system outputs that will make the system states indirectly observable. Observers need to converge much faster than the system dynamics in order for their estimations to be accurate. Optimal observer synthesis is therefore advantageous. In this LMI, we seek to optimize the H-infinity norm, which conceptually is minimizing the maximum magnitude of error in the observer.
The System
editThe system needed for this LMI is a discrete-time LTI plant , which has the state space realization:
where and is the state vector, and is the state matrix, and is the input matrix, and is the exogenous input, and is the output matrix, and is the feedthrough matrix, and is the output, and it is assumed that is detectable.
The Data
editThe matrices .
The Optimization Problem
editAn observer of the form:
is to be designed, where is the observer gain.
Defining the error state , the error dynamics are found to be
,
and the performance output is defined as
.
The observer gain is to be designed such that the of the transfer matrix from to , given by
is minimized.
The LMI: Discrete-Time Hinf-Optimal Observer
editThe discrete-time -optimal observer gain is synthesized by solving for , , and that minimize J subject to , and
Conclusion:
editThe -optimal observer gain is recovered by and the norm of is . This matrix of observer gains can then be used to form the optimal observer formulated by:
