Aircraft control gain computation using an ellipsoid algorithm

We discuss the use of an ellipsoid algorithm for computing output feedback gains in a linear time-invariant control system. The gains are chosen to minimize a quadratic performance criterion subject to an explicit constraint on system stability. A numerical example is given in which not all of the s...

Summary:We discuss the use of an ellipsoid algorithm for computing output feedback gains in a linear time-invariant control system. The gains are chosen to minimize a quadratic performance criterion subject to an explicit constraint on system stability. A numerical example is given in which not all of the state variables are accessible, and results obtained using the ellipsoid algorithm are compared to the published solution.
