This paper presents a numerical approach for designing stable MIMO H and H2 controllers for linear systems. The proposed technique searches for a norm constrained stable transfer matrix Q in the H and H2 suboptimal controller parameterizations so that the final controllers are stable. The norm constrained Q’s are explicitly parameterized for any fixed order and the H2 and H strong stabilization problems are then converted to nonlinear constrained optimization problems. A numerical search is carried out by a two-stage optimization scheme in order to reach an optimal solution. Examples show the performance improvements of these algorithms over methods already presented in the literature.
