Discrete-Time H∞-Optimal Dynamic Output Feedback Control

A discrete time system operates on a discrete time signal input and produces a discrete time signal output. They are used in digital signal processing, such as digital filters for images or sound. The class of discrete time systems that are both linear and time invariant, known as discrete time LTI systems.

A Dynamic Output feedback controller is designed for a Discrete Time system, to minimize the H∞ norm of the closed loop system with exogenous input $w_{k}$ and performance output $z_{k}$.

The System

Discrete-Time LTI System with state space realization $(A_{d},B_{d},C_{d},D_{d})$
${\begin{aligned}x_{k+1}&=A_{d}x_{k}+B_{d1}w_{k}+B_{d2}u_{k}\\z_{k}&=C_{d1}x_{k}+D_{d11}w_{k}+D_{d12}u_{k}\\y_{k}&=C_{d2}x_{k}+D_{d21}w_{k}+D_{d22}u_{k}\\\end{aligned}}$

The Data

The matrices: System $(A_{d},B_{d1},B_{d2},C_{d1},C_{d1},D_{d11},D_{d12},D_{d21},D_{d22}),X_{1},Y_{1},Z,,X_{2},Y_{2}$

Controller $(A_{dc},B_{dc},C_{dc},D_{dc})$

The Optimization Problem

The following feasibility problem should be optimized:

$\gamma$ is minimized while obeying the LMI constraints.

The LMI:

Discrete-Time H∞-Optimal Dynamic Output Feedback Control

The LMI formulation

H∞ norm < $\gamma$

${\begin{aligned}X_{1},Y_{1}\in {S^{n_{x}}};Z\in {S^{n_{z}}};\gamma \in {R_{>0}}\;\\A_{dn}\in {R^{n_{x}*n_{x}}};B_{dn}\in {R^{n_{x}*n_{y}}};C_{dn}\in {R^{n_{u}*n_{x}}};D_{dn}\in {R^{n_{u}*n_{y}}};\\&X_{1}>0\\&Y_{1}>0\\&Z>0\\{\begin{bmatrix}X_{1}&1&X_{1}A_{d}+B_{dn}C_{d2}&A_{dn}&X_{1}B_{d1}+B_{dn}D_{d21}&0\\*&Y_{1}&A_{d}+B_{d2}D_{dn}C_{d2}&A_{d}Y_{1}+B_{d2}C_{dn}&B_{d1}+B_{d2}D_{dn}D_{d21}&0\\*&*&X_{1}&1&0&C_{d1}^{T}+C_{d2}^{T}D_{dn}^{T}D_{d12}^{T}\\*&*&*&Y_{1}&0&Y_{1}C_{d1}^{T}+C_{dn}^{T}D_{d12}^{T}\\*&*&*&*&-\gamma I&D_{d11}^{T}+D_{d21}^{T}D_{dn}^{T}D_{d12}^{T}\\*&*&*&*&*&-\gamma I\end{bmatrix}}&>0,\\{\begin{bmatrix}X_{1}&1\\*&Y_{1}\end{bmatrix}}&>0,\\\end{aligned}}$

The controller is recovered by

${\begin{aligned}&A_{dc}=A_{dk}-B_{dc}(1-D_{d22}D_{dc})^{-1}D_{d22}C_{dc}\\&B_{dc}=B_{dk}(1-D_{dc}D_{d22})\\&C_{dc}=(1-D_{dc}D_{d22})C_{dk}\\&D_{dc}=1+D_{dk}D_{d22})^{-1}D_{dk}\\\end{aligned}}$

where, ${\begin{aligned}{\begin{bmatrix}A_{dk}&B_{dk}\\C_{dk}&D_{dk}\end{bmatrix}}&={\begin{bmatrix}X_{2}&X_{1}B_{d2}\\0&1\end{bmatrix}}^{-1}({\begin{bmatrix}A_{dn}&B_{dn}\\C_{dn}&D_{dn}\end{bmatrix}}-{\begin{bmatrix}X_{1}A_{d}Y_{1}&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}}){\begin{bmatrix}Y_{2}^{T}&0\\C_{d2}Y_{1}&1\end{bmatrix}}^{-1}\end{aligned}}$
and the matrixes $X_{2}$ and $Y_{2}$ satisfies $X_{2}Y_{2}^{T}=1-X_{1}Y_{1}$

Given $X_{1}$ and $Y_{1}$, the matrices $X_{2}$ and $Y_{2}$ can be found using a matrix decomposition, such as a LU decomposition or a Cholesky decomposition.

If $D_{d11}=0$, $D_{d12}$ ≠ 0, and $D_{d21}$ ≠ 0, then it is often simplest to choose $D_{dn}=0$ in order to satisfy the equality constraint

Conclusion:

The Discrete-Time H∞-Optimal Dynamic Output Feedback Controller is the system $(A_{dc},B_{dc},C_{dc},D_{dc})$
