A Controllability Gramain Shaping with LMI Constraints under Bures--Wasserstein Distance

Koju Nishimoto, Yuki Onishi, Riku Funada +1

This paper proposes a controller design method for shaping the controllability Gramian into a desired form to design the effect from exogenous inputs to the system state. Using the…
