LMIs in Control/pages/H2SO We treat the problem of designing a full-order state observer for the system mentioned below. The aim of it is to mitigate the effect of disturbance $w(t)$ to the estimate error is prohibited to a desired level.

The System

Consider the continuous-time generalized plant P with state-space realization

{\begin{aligned}{\dot {x}}(t)&=Ax(t)+B_{1}u(t)+B_{2}w(t)&x(0)=x_{0}\\y(t)&=C_{1}x(t)+D_{1}u(t)+D_{2}w(t)\\&z(t)=C_{2}x(t)\end{aligned}}

where it is assumed that $(A,C_{2})$ is detectable. An observer of the form

The Data

$x$ ∈ ${\begin{aligned}\mathbb {R} \end{aligned}}$ ⁿ, $y$ ∈ ${\begin{aligned}\mathbb {R} \end{aligned}}$ ^l , $z$ ∈ ${\begin{aligned}\mathbb {R} \end{aligned}}$ ^m are respectively the state vector, the measured

output vector, and the output vector of interests

$w$ ∈ ${\begin{aligned}\mathbb {R} \end{aligned}}$ ^p and $u$ ∈ ${\begin{aligned}\mathbb {R} \end{aligned}}$ ^r are the disturbance vector and the control vector,

respectively

A, B₁, B₂, C₁, C₂, D₁, and D₂ are the system coefficient matrices of

appropriate dimensions

The Optimization Problem

For the system we introduce a full state observer in the following form:
${\dot {\hat {x}}}=(A+LC_{1}){\hat {x}}-Ly+(B_{1}+LD_{1})u$ ${\hat {x}},L$ are the observation vector and the observer gain.
The transfer function for this case is
$G_{zw}(s)=C_{2}(sI-A-LC_{1})^{-1}(B_{2}+LD_{2})$
and thus the problem of $H_{2}$ state observer design is to find L such that
|| $G_{zs}(s)||_{2}<\gamma$
The error : $e=x-{\hat {x}}$

The LMI: LMI for H₂ State Observer Design

The H₂ state observer problem has a solution if and only if there exists a matrix $W$ , a symmetric matrix $Q$ and a symmetric matrix $X$ such that

{\begin{bmatrix}XA+WC_{1}+(XA+WC_{1})^{T}&XB_{2}+WD_{2}\\(XB_{2}+WD_{2})^{T}&-I\end{bmatrix}}

{\begin{aligned}<0\end{aligned}}

{\begin{bmatrix}-Q&C_{2}\\C_{2}^{T}&-X\end{bmatrix}}

{\begin{aligned}<0\end{aligned}}

{\begin{aligned}trace(Q)<\gamma ^{2}\end{aligned}}

and from the solution of the above LMIs we can obtain the observer matrix as

L=X^{-1}W

Conclusion

Thus by formulation, we have converted the problem of H₂ state observer design into an LMI feasibility problem by optimizing the above LMIs. In application we are often concerned with the problem of finding the minimal attenuation level $\gamma$

On implementation and optimization of the above LMI using YALMIP and MOSEK (or) SeDuMi we get 3 matrices as output, $X,WandQ$ and also $\rho$ which is used to calculate $\gamma$ which is the H₂ norm of the system.
