Static Output H∞ Minimum Entropy Control: 10th IFAC Workshop on Control Applications of Optimization 1995, Haifa, Israel, 19-21 December

The problem of designing static output-feedback controllers is considered. The controller is required to minimize the closed-loop entropy (at s = ∞), and to satisfy a prescribed H∞-norm bound. The design equations consist of a modified Riccati equation and a Lyapunov equation that are coupled via a projection. These equations are solved using an homotopy algorithm. The design procedure is illustrated by two examples. The first is a classical example that was solved in the literature using convex optimization techniques. The second example is one of designing a gain scheduled normal acceleration loop for an airlaunched UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle).
