Abstract
We propose a method to compute convergent lower bounds for the state-feedback controller design problem Inf/F {L(F):A+BF is Metzler & stable} where L is a convex loss function of F . The theory behind the approach is simple: relying only on an extension of Perron-Frobenius to Metzler matrices, and popular discrete optimization techniques. The method itself has two tuning parameters (which enable faster recovery of solutions, with possible introduction of optimality gaps) and is practical for systems with a non-trivial state dimension. A convergence result with respect to the optimal solution is derived, and a direct heuristic algorithm based on linear programming is given. We explain how projecting A onto the set of stable Metzler matrices is essentially the hardest of these problems, and focus our numerical examples on precisely this case.
