Polytopic quasi–linear parameter‐varying (quasi‐LPV) models of nonlinear processes allow
the usage linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee some performance goal on them (in …

A nonlinear system with sector-bounded nonlinearities can be expressed as a quasi-LPV
system (convex combination of linear models, with state-dependent interpolation …

Many works in literature are based on the idea that a nonlinear system with sector-bounded
nonlinearities can be expressed as a quasi-LPV system. The convex difference inclusion …

Identification of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems is often accomplished via Input-
Output (IO) model structures in discrete-time. This approach is common because of its …

This paper describes the LPVTools software suite developed by MUSYN Inc. LPVTools is a
MATLAB toolbox for simulation, analysis, and design of parameter dependent control …

Linear parameter-varying (LPV) models form a powerful model class to analyze and control
a (nonlinear) system of interest. Identifying an LPV model of a nonlinear system can be …

In this paper an analysis of the complexity involved in the implementation and synthesis of
linear parameter-varying (LPV) controllers is presented. Its purpose is to provide guidance in …

The controller design for complex nonlinear systems using the framework of linear
parameter-varying (LPV) systems often leads to high costs in modeling, synthesis and …

In recent years the interest for gain scheduling methods has increased. Gain scheduling is a
collection of methods that try to tackle the challenging problem of nonlinear control in a …

This article introduces a systematic approach to synthesize linear parameter‐varying (LPV)
representations of nonlinear (NL) systems which are described by input affine state‐space …
