Abstract:

The relationship between the technique by statedependent Riccati equations (SDRE) and Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equations for nonlinear H∞ control design is  investigated. By establishing the Lyapunov matrix equations for partial derivates of the solution of the SDREs and introducing symmetry measure for some related matrices, a method is proposed for examining whether the SDRE method admits a global optimal control equivalent to that solved by the HJI equation method. Two examples with simulation are given to illustrate the method is effective.
