Abstract
A well-known control application, the inverted pendulum system, is formulated as a nonlinear H∞ control problem. In order to construct a nonlinear H∞ controller, it is essential to find a solution for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation (HJE). A successive algorithm is employed to obtain an approximate solution of the HJE and then a nonlinear H∞ controller is constructed. Simulations of the closed-loop pendulum responses for both the nonlinear and the linear H∞ controllers are performed and compared. It is found that the nonlinear H∞ controller has better performance and robustness than the linear controller
