This paper deals with the robust stabilization of a class of linear time varying systems. Instead of using a state observer or having dynamic structure, the controller is based on output derivative estimation. This allows the stabilization of linear time varying systems with very large parameter variation and a small number of controller parameters. The proof of stability is based on the polytopic representation of the closed loop and Lyapunov conditions. The result is proposed in a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) form. The validity of this approach is illustrated by a second order system case of study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
