Abstract

We consider optimization programs which arise in automatic control applications for H∞ controller synthesis. We optimize functions which are finite or infinite maxima of smooth functions, or of semismooth functions like the maximum eigenvalue functions. From a nonsmooth semi-infinite problem formulation, a second-order algorithm is developed. Our method is tested on several examples in controller synthesis.
