LMIs in Control/pages/LMI for Eigenvalue Minimization

The System

${\begin{aligned}A(x)=A_{0}+A_{1}x_{1}+...+A_{n}x_{n}\end{aligned}}$

Note that ${\begin{aligned}A_{i},\quad i=1,2,...,n\end{aligned}}$ are symmetric matrices.

The Data

${\begin{aligned}A_{0},A_{1},...,A_{n}\quad {\text{are given matrices.}}\end{aligned}}$

The Optimization Problem

Find

${\begin{aligned}x=[x_{1}\quad x_{2}...x_{n}]\end{aligned}}$

to minimize,

${\begin{aligned}J(x)=\lambda _{max}(A(x))\end{aligned}}$

According to Lemma 1.1 in [1] page 10, the following statements are equivalent

${\begin{aligned}\lambda _{max}(A(x))\leq t\iff A(x)-tI\leq 0\end{aligned}}$

The LMI: LMI for eigenvalue minimization

Title and mathematical description of the LMI formulation.

${\begin{aligned}{\text{min}}\;\quad t:&\\{\text{s.t.}}\quad {\begin{bmatrix}A(x)-tI\end{bmatrix}}&\leq 0\end{aligned}}$

Conclusion:

${\begin{aligned}x_{i},\quad i=1,2,...,n\quad {\text{and}}\quad t>0\end{aligned}}$ are parameters to be optimized
