Abstract:

This study improved the numerical optimization technique used to compute mixed H2H infinity controllers. The run time to generate the full curve of an H2H infinity design was reduced by a factor of almost 200 for a specific example. This was accomplished by improving gradient calculations, upgrading the H infinity norm calculation to capture multiple peaks in the singular value plot and using routines that minimized processing time. The optimization routine used was the MATLAB CONSTR Sequential Quadratic Programming SQP routine. This SQP routine was compared to a FORTRAN SQP numerical optimizer, IMSLDNCONG. The method was applied to an F-16 SISO example and a missile MIMO example. The mixed H2H infinity controller for both these examples are compared to previous controller designs created using the LQGLTR technique.
