Title
A Convex Optimization Approach for Equivariant Control Systems
Abstract
A system is called <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">equivariant</italic> if it is invariant with respect to a set of coordinate transformations associated to the elements of a multiplicative group. One established fact of the theory of equivariant systems is that various control problems can be solved by a generic controller if and only if they can be solved with a controller that satisfies the same invariance properties of the system. In this note, we show that this is true for all control tasks that can be obtained as a solution of an equivariant convex optimization problem and present some applications related to state and output feedback stabilization and decentralized control.
