Performance bounds in linear control of unstable MIMO systems with pole location constraint

This paper proposes a methodology to compute quadratic performance bounds when the closed loop poles of a discrete-time multivariable control loop are confined to a disk, centred at the origin, and with radius less than one. The underlying philosophy in this constraint is to avoid certain undesirable dynamic features which arise in quadratic optimal designs. An expression for the performance loss due to the pole location constraint is also provided. Using numerical examples, we show that the performance loss is compensated by an improved transient performance, specially visible in the control signals. c 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
