(J,J')-lossless factorization approach to H/sup /spl infin// control problems with infinite and finite j/spl omega/-axis zeros

Abstract

A (J,J')-lossless factorization approach to 4-block H/sup /spl infin// control problems with infinite and finite j/spl omega/-axis zeros is studied. The (J,J')-lossless factorization for a 2-block plant, which is constructed by augmentation of observation output, and the dual (J,J')-lossless factorization for a 2-block plant, which is constructed by an augmentation of control input, are discussed dually to reveal the fundamental structures of H/sup /spl infin// control problems. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the 4-block H/sup /spl infin// control problems are proposed via generalized eigenvalue problems, and suitable controllers in descriptor form for the problems are given.
