Abstract: This paper deals with the robust D-stability (regional pole placement) control against time invariant polytopic uncertainties. It is known that such robust control problems can be described as parameter dependent bilinear matrix inequality (robust BMI) problems which are difficult to solve. In this paper, we propose an iterative approach to design a static or a reduced-order output feedback controller achieving the robust D-stability constraint. The feature of our approach is to construct a controller sequence approaching a feasible region from the outside. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of our approach.

Keywords: exterior point approach; time invariant polytopic uncertainties; robust D stability; parameter dependent bilinear matrix inequality; PDBMI; multi-convex relaxation.
