Robust model reference control for uncertain second-order system subject to parameter uncertainties.

This paper is devoted to designing a robust model reference controller for uncertain second-order systems subject to parameter uncertainties. The system matrix of the first-order reference model is more general and the parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. The design of robust controller can be devided into two separate problems: problem robust stabilization and problem robust compensation. Based on the solution of generalized Sylvester matrix equations, we obtain some sufficient conditions to guarantee the complete parameterization of the controller. Then, the problem robust compensation of the closed-loop system is estimated by solving a convex optimisation problem with a set of linear matrix equations constraints. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
