Abstract:

In general, designing Gain-Scheduled (GS) controllers for Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems using Parameter-Dependent Lyapunov Functions (PDLFs) yields controllers that depend on the derivatives of parameters. This makes their implementation impractical because ideal parameter derivatives are not available in the real world. In contrast to this, for open-loop system design, such as filter design and inverse system design, we propose a GS controller design method using PDLFs that gives controllers which do not depend on parameter derivatives. Although the proposed method uses structured PDLFs, we show that it is as conservative as existing methods. Numerical examples of designing GS filters and GS right inverse systems for LPV systems are included to demonstrate our conclusion.
