The first motivation is that LPV system control appears as an alternative to (classical) gain scheduling control. Remember that gain scheduling control is an heuristic design method for nonlinear system control. For many years, gain scheduling control was largely applied, even if its theoretical foundation was only recently investigated [Rug91]. One of their main drawbacks is the lack of a syst...

this paper presents a gain scheduled autopilot for pitch channel of a flying vehicle. the selected method is based on polynomial fuzzy systems. the method does not involve linearization about operating point. first the polynomial fuzzy model of pitch channel of the flight body is derived. next, using polynomial fuzzy system methodology the controller is design such that the outputs of the nonli...

Gain scheduling controllers are considered in this paper. The gain scheduling problem where the scheduling parameter vector θ cannot be measured directly, but needs to be estimated is considered. An estimation of the scheduling vector θ has been derived by using the Youla parameterization. The use of the Youla parameterization in connection with estimation of θ directly gives a validation metho...
