This thesis studies linear matrix inequality (LMI) approaches to multiobjective controller design problems. By multiobjective controller design problems, we mean design problems with a mixture of different design specifications such as the Hoo performance, the H2 performance, the regional pole placement constraints and so on. Recent studies show that these design specifications are characterized as matriX' inequalities that include controller variables and so-called Lyapunov variables in their bilinear forms. When we deal with a single design specification, the matrix inequality corresponding to the design specification can be reduced successfully to an LMI and hence we can obtain a desired controller easily via well-established convex optimization techniques. On the other hand, when we deal with multiple design specifications, this is no longer true. Namely, the coupled matrix inequalities that reflect multiple design specifications are considered to be essentially bilinear matrix inequalities (BMI's). Solving BMI's is a non-convex optimization problem and quite hard from the viewpoint of numerical computation. In order to avoid the difficulties in dealing with such BMI's, a so-called common Lyapunov variable has been forced for all design specifications so that the BMI's can be converted into LMI's. However, the restriction to a common Lyapunov variable is quite confining and this approach brings some conservatism into the design. The goal of this thesis is to get around the conservatism, and we tackle the multiobjective controller design problems with non-common Lyapunov variables. This thesis proposes three approaches to the multiobjective controller design problems with non-common Lyapunov variables, where the first and second ones deal with the statefeedback problems, while the third one deals with both stateand output-feedback problems. In the first approach, we impose some additional constraints on the Lyapunov variables so that we convexify the problem and obtain LMI characterizations while keeping the statefeedback gain directly as one of the variables. Because of the freedom left in the Lyapunov variables under the constraints, our .formulation turns out to give a set of LMI characterizations that allow non-common Lyapunov variables. On the other hand, in the second approach, we perform a standard procedure called change of variables, and represent the resulting variables as a set of affine functions of yet new variables. These affine functions are chosen to have a crucial characteristic that troublesome non-convex constraints are satisfied regardless of the new variables. With these affine functions, we readily derive a set of LMI characterizations that allow non-common Lyapunov variables. We also show that a simple combination of this second approach with the above first approach leads to an effective iterative algorithm, with which we can get around the conservatism considerably. The third approach we propose is quite distinct from the above two. In this approach, we derive new dilated matrix inequality characterizations for the design specifications, where the decoupling between the controller variables and the Lyapunov variables has been achieved and hence the bilinear terms between them disappear. This is achieved by the introduction of new auxiliary variables that form product with the controller variables instead of the Lyapunov variables. These new dilated matrix inequalities lead us to a new approach which convexifies the problems with non-common Lyapunov variables but with a common auxiliary variable. It is shown that we can guarantee this approach to achieve better performance than that with the conventional approach. Although our main interest in this thesis is the multiobjective controller design problems, it turns out that the new dilated characterizations for the design specifications have another potential in dealing with robust performance analysis and synthesis problems for real polytopic uncertainty. Roughly speaking, the conventional approach to these problems is such that they seek a common Lyapunov variable over the whole uncertainty domain and hence arrives at conservative results. On the other hand, the new dilated characterizations enable us to employ a so-called parameter-dependent Lyapunov variable, and hence the conservatism of the conventional approach can be circumvented successfully. The idea to decouple the Lyapunov variables and the controller variables in the matrix inequality characterizations is quite important in dealing with such involved problems as the multiobjective controller design problems, robust performance analysis and synthesis for real polytopic uncertainty and so on. This thesis offers an intriguing methodology that could cover such involved problems, and ensures improvement of the performance over the conventional approach.
