Robust H∞ Output Feedback Control of Bilinear Systems

In this paper we present a solution to the robust Hoo output feedback control problem for bilinear systems over a finite time interval. The solution is obtained through the use of the information state method. We discuss the relation of the information state controller with the certainty equivalence controller under smoothness and uniqueness assumptions. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate implementation issues of the information state feedback controller.
