Tensor Product Model Transformation in Polytopic Model-Based Control

Authoritative and highly focused, this reference describes a novel method in multi-objective control system design with examples drawn from aerospace engineering and a free MATLAB toolbox for easy implementation. It unites two well-known areas of multi-objective control system design – quasi Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) models and the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) method. The book introduces a methodology to automatically generate from any given quasi LPV model a set of invariant, canonical and convex poly topic representations that are readily executable for LMI based system control design.
