this paper proposes a new method of gain scheduling control design for a nonlinear system which is described as linear parameter varying form. a performance measure based on linear matrix inequality is introduced. to consider stability and performance measures in design process, the h∞ loop-shaping method is used to design the local controllers, which can be described as state feedback observer...

This paper is concerned with the H∞ and generalized H2 estimation problems for a class of continuoustime piecewise linear systems. We present a linear matrix inequality (LMI) based approach to the design of generalized H2 and H∞ estimators. Our approach employs S-procedure and partition-dependent slack variables to reduce design conservatism. Examples demonstrate the advantages and good estimat...
