abstract
This paper presents all controllers for the general H control problem (with no assumptions on the plant matrices). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an H suboptimal controller of any order are given in terms of three Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, we provide the set of all H suboptimal controllers explicitly parameterized in the state space using the positive definite solutions to the LMIs. The inequality formulation converts the existence conditions to a convex feasibility problem, and also a free matrix parameter in the controller formula defines a finite dimensional design space, as opposed to the infinite dimensional space associated with the Q-parametrization.
