LPV Controller Interpolation for Improved Gain-Scheduling Control Performance

In this paper, a new gain-scheduling control designapproach is proposed by combining LPV control the-ory with interpolation techniques. The improvementof gain-scheduled controllers can be achieved from lo-cal synthesis of Lyapunov functions and continuousconstruction of a global Lyapunov function by interpo-lation. It has been shown that this combined LPV con-trol design scheme is capable of improving closed-loopperformance derived from local performance improve-ment. The gain of the LPV controller will also changecontinuously across parameter space. The advantagesof the newly proposed LPV control is demonstratedthrough a detailed AMB controller design example.
