ABSTRACT

In this chapter, a linear parameter-varying (LPV) plant [A(θ),B(θ),C(θ)] with the parameter vector θ is considered with continuously differentiable systemmatrices A(θ), B(θ), and C(θ). As described in Section 1.2, such a LPV plant description is typically obtained by linearizing the model of a nonlinear plant about a nominal trajectory. The control problem, which is considered in this chapter is finding a LPV continuous-time controller with the system matrices F(θ), G(θ), and H(θ) of its state-space model.
