Abstract

This paper addresses robust $H_{\infty}$ control problems for nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainty. By using the technique of partition of unity, necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of strong robust $H_{\infty}$ dynamic compensators and static state feedback controllers are established in terms of nonlinear matrix inequality (NLMI) approach, respectively. These conditions reduce the robust $H_{\infty}$ control problems to a standard $H_{\infty}$ problem for an auxiliary nonlinear system.
