On uniform stabilization of discrete-time linear parameter-varying control systems

For discrete-time polytopic linear parameter-varying systems, the uniform exponential stability, which is equivalent to the asymptotic stability and includes the quadratic stability as a special case, is characterized by the union of an increasing family of linear matrix inequality conditions. On the other hand, in certain cases, nonconservative synthesis of uniformly stabilizing controllers is achieved via a system of finite number of linear matrix inequalities if the controller is allowed to have finite memory of past parameters. Two such cases are robust state feedback (in a relaxed sense) against polytopic parameter variations, and multiple output injections under polytopic fusion rules.
