We design resilient sparse state-feedback controllers for a linear time-invariant (LTI) control system while attaining a pre-specified guarantee on H∞ performance measure. We leverage a technique from non-fragile control theory to identify a region of resilient state-feedback controllers. Afterward, we explore the region to identify a sparse controller. To this end, we use two different techniques: the greedy method of sparsification, as well as the re-weighted 1 norm minimization. Our approach highlights a tradeoff between the sparsity of the feedback gain, performance measure, and fragility of the design. To best of our knowledge, this work is the first framework providing performance guarantees for sparse feedback gain design.
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.
