contents This letter presents a framework for synthesizing a robust full-state feedback controller for systems with unknown nonlinearities. Our approach characterizes input-output behavior of the nonlinearities in terms of local norm bounds using available sampled data corresponding to a known region about an equilibrium point. A challenge in this approach is that if the nonlinearities have explicit dependence on the control inputs, an a priori selection of the control input sampling region is required to determine the local norm bounds. This leads to a "chicken and egg" problem, where the local norm bounds are required for controller synthesis, but the region of control inputs needed to be characterized cannot be known prior to synthesis of the controller. To tackle this issue, we constrain the closed-loop control inputs within the sampling region while synthesizing the controller. As the resulting synthesis problem is non-convex, three semi-definite programs (SDPs) are obtained through convex relaxations of the main problem, and an iterative algorithm is constructed using these SDPs for control synthesis. Two numerical examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This letter presents a framework for synthesizing a robust full-state feedback controller for systems with unknown nonlinearities. Our approach characterizes input-output behavior of the nonlinearities in terms of local norm bounds using available sampled data corresponding to a known region about an equilibrium point.
