This paper provides a survey of results in linear parameter-varying (LPV) control that have been validated by experiments and/or high-fidelity simulations. The LPV controller synthesis techniques employed the references this are briefly reviewed and compared. methods classified into polytopic, fractional transformation, gridding-based it is how each these approaches, can be carried out as convex optimization problem via finite number matrix inequalities (LMIs) for both parameter-independent...
A common problem in the context of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems is how input-output (IO) models can be efficiently realized terms state-space (SS) representations. The originates from fact that LPV literature discrete-time identification and modeling often accomplished via IO model structures. However, to utilize these LPV-IO for control synthesis, commonly it required transform them into an equivalent SS form. In general, such a transformation complicated due phenomenon dynamic...

LPV representations of given nonlinear or parameter dependent plants are usually not unique, and different models lead to achievable performance when LMI techniques used design controllers.
