Guaranteed cost LQG control for uncertain systems with a normalized coprime factor uncertainty structure

The paper extends the robust minimax LQG control design methodology to stochastic uncertain systems with a general uncertainty structure, which includes normalized coprime factor uncertainty, passive uncertainty and sector norm-bounded uncertainty as special cases. The derivation of the result uses a special parameter-dependent Girsanov measure transformation. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is illustrated using the problem of frequency locking of an optical cavity which occurs in the area of experimental quantum optics.
