lqr (MathScript RT Module Function)

Owning Class: ssdesign

Requires: Control Design and Simulation Module and MathScript RT Module

Syntax

[K, X, eig] = lqr(A, B, Q, R)

[K, X, eig] = lqr(A, B, Q, R, N)

[K, X, eig] = lqr(SysInSS, B, Q, R)

[K, X, eig] = lqr(SysInSS, B, Q, R, N)

Description

Calculates the optimal steady-state feedback gain matrix K that minimizes a quadratic cost function for a linear discrete state-space system model. The cost function weights the model states. The quadratic cost function J is defined as the following equation:
integral(x'(t)Qx(t) + u(t)' Ru(t) + 2x(t)'Nu(t), t, 0, +inf), where t is continuous time, u is the input vector, and x is the state vector.

Examples

Inputs

Name Description
SysInSS Specifies a linear time-invariant (LTI) model in state-space form.
A Specifies an n x n state matrix, where n is the number of states. The default is an empty matrix. A is a real matrix.
B Specifies an n x m input matrix, where m is the number of inputs. The default is an empty matrix. B is a real matrix.
Q Specifies a symmetric, positive semi-definite matrix that penalizes the state vector x in the cost function. Q is a real matrix.
R Specifies a symmetric positive definite matrix that penalizes the input vector u in the cost function. The default is the identity matrix. R is a real matrix.
N Specifies a matrix that penalizes the cross product between input and state vectors, such that (Q - N*inv(R)*N') is positive semi-definite. The default is an appropriately sized matrix of zeros. N is a real matrix.

Outputs

Name Description
K Returns the gain matrix such that K = inv(R)*(B'X + N'). K is a real matrix.
X Returns the symmetric, positive semi-definite (stabilizing) solution to the discrete algebraic Riccati equation. X is a real matrix.
eig Returns the eigenvalues of the matrix (A - BK). These eigenvalues are the closed-loop pole locations. eig is a complex vector.
