and Norms of 2-D Mixed Continuous-Discrete-Time Systems via Rationally-Depende

This paper addresses the problem of determining the H_∞ and H₂ norms of 2-D mixed continuous-discrete-time systems. The first contribution is to propose a novel approach based on the use of complex Lyapunov functions with even rational parametric dependence, which searches for upper bounds on the sought norms via linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The second contribution is to show that the upper bounds provided are nonconservative by using Lyapunov functions in the chosen class with sufficiently large degree. The third contribution is to provide conditions for establishing the tightness of the upper bounds. The fourth contribution is to show how the numerical complexity of the proposed approach can be significantly reduced by proposing a new necessary and sufficient LMI condition for establishing positive semidefiniteness of even Hermitian matrix polynomials. This result is also exploited to derive an improved necessary and sufficient LMI condition for establishing exponential stability of 2-D mixed continuous-discrete-time systems. Some numerical examples illustrate the proposed approach. It is worth remarking that nonconservative LMI methods for determining the H_∞and H₂ norms of 2-D mixed continuous-discrete-time systems have not been proposed yet in the literature.
