Controller discretization: a gap metric framework for analysis and synthesis
Michael Cantoni,Glenn Vinnicombe +1 more
TL;DR: A gap metric framework is developed for studying the controller discretization problem for linear time-invariant (LTI) plants and controllers and gives rise to an algorithm for computing a gap metric measure of the distance between an LTI controller and a given discretizations, and a technique for synthesising a SD approximation which is optimal with respect to this metric.

Abstract: Although techniques for directly synthesising sampled-data (SD) compensators are available in the literature, feedback controller design is perhaps best understood in a purely continuous-time setting. As such, a feedback controller is often designed in the continuous-time domain and then discretized for digital implementation. It is important for the discretization step involved to yield an SD approximation which captures the essential features of the original controller from the perspective of closed-loop behavior. In this note, a gap metric framework is developed for studying the controller discretization problem for linear time-invariant (LTI) plants and controllers. Importantly, knowledge of a gap metric distance between an LTI controller and an SD approximation permits explicit characterization of the possible difference in closed-loop performance, with any LTI plant for which the LTI controller is known to work well, accounting for intersample behavior. The central result of the new framework gives rise to an algorithm for computing a gap metric measure of the distance between an LTI controller and a given discretization, and a technique for synthesising a SD approximation which is optimal with respect to this metric.

TL;DR: A characterization of the gap metric is developed in an operator theoretic setting, under assumptions regarding the existence of normalized strong right and left representations of the graph and a certain J-spectral factorization.

Robust and Optimal Control
John Doyle
- 17 Aug 1995
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the history of the relationship between robust control and optimal control and H-infinity theory and concluded that robust control has become thoroughly mainstream, and robust control methods permeate robust control theory.

State-space solutions to standard H/sub 2/ and H/sub infinity / control problems
TL;DR: In this article, simple state-space formulas are derived for all controllers solving the following standard H/sub infinity / problem: for a given number gamma > 0, find all controllers such that the H/ sub infinity / norm of the closed-loop transfer function is (strictly) less than gamma.

TL;DR: In this article, simple state-space formulas are presented for a controller solving a standard H∞-problem, where the controller has the same state-dimension as the plant, its computation involves only two Riccati equations, and it has a separation structure reminiscent of classical LQG theory.
