Feintuch, Avraham; Khargonekar, Pramod; Tannenbaum, Allen On the sensitivity minimization problem for linear time-varying periodic systems. (English) Zbl 0624.93021 SIAM J. Control Optimization 24, 1076-1085 (1986). “An optimal control problem is formulated in the context of linear, discrete-time, periodic systems. The cost is the supremum over all exogenous inputs in a weighted ball of plant inputs. The controller is required to be causal, periodic of the fixed order of the system and to achieve internal stability. Existence of an optimal controller is proved and a formula for the minimum cost is derived” (Abstract). It turns out, in particular, that non-periodic controllers will not have lower sensitivity.
