Abstract

We present an algorithm for the solution of static output feedback problems formulated as semidefinite programs with bilinear matrix inequality constraints and collected in the library COMPlib. Thealgorithm, based on the generalized augmented Lagrangian technique, is implemented in the publicly available general purpose software PENBMI. Numerical results demonstrate the behavior of the code.
