“…Therefore, while designing the controller for an uncertain system, it is desirable to ensure not only the stability of the system but also a satisfactory level of performance. The problem of guaranteed cost (GC) control was addressed by Chang and Peng (1972) and has witnessed a rise in interest during the past few decades (Arshad et al, 2016; Belhaouane et al, 2019; Cao et al, 2017; Chang et al, 2020; Chen and He, 2016; Du et al, 2014; Fernando et al, 2013; Gao et al, 2012; Geromel et al, 1993; Han et al, 2014; Liu et al, 2013; Ma and Yan, 2016; Niamsup et al, 2013; Peng et al, 2007; Petersen et al 1998; Qiu et al, 2016; Rodríguez-Guerrero et al, 2019; Shi et al, 2003; Wang and Li, 2020; Wang and Liu, 2018; Wang and Zhao, 2019; Wang et al, 2019; Wu et al, 2017; Yu, 2005; Yu and Gao, 2002; Zhang et al, 2019; Zhu et al, 2019; Zuo at al., 2008). The objective of the GC control technique is to design a controller such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable while the closed-loop cost function is lower than a specified upper bound.…”
