Output feedback stabilization for uncertain systems: constrained Riccati approach

In this paper, the problem of output feedback stabilization of linear systems with mismatched uncertainties is investigated. A new approach to the design of output feedback controller is proposed, and the respective output feedback gains are obtained through the solution of a Riccati equation with linear constraints. Solvability conditions for such a constrained Riccati problem are derived, and a systematic algorithm for obtaining an output feedback controller, which guarantees the system state is globally exponentially stable, is provided
