Abstract:
Due to the prominence of low-order controllers in industry, this thesis intends to improve the common design algorithms in this field. In this regard, the main challenge is that this problem is NP-hard due to the non-convex rank constraint which appears in the formulation. The existing algorithms mostly solve this problem by obtaining a convex sub-space for this constraint and using output feedback convex optimization methods.Two of common algorithms are non-iterative. These methods two main steps; first to obtain the full-order Lyapunov matrices related to the controller, and then, to fix the null-space of the matrices which have rank constraint. One of the advantages of the algorithm presented in this thesis over past ones is higher possibility to obtain low-order (including zero-order) controller for high-order systems besides better performance. These improvements are fulfilled by modifying the steps and obtaining a better null-space
