A Matrix Finsler's Lemma with Applications to Data-Driven Control

Optimization and Control 2021-03-26 v1

Abstract

In a recent paper it was shown how a matrix S-lemma can be applied to construct controllers from noisy data. The current paper complements these results by proving a matrix version of the classical Finsler's lemma. This matrix Finsler's lemma provides a tractable condition under which all matrix solutions to a quadratic equality also satisfy a quadratic inequality. We will apply this result to bridge known data-driven control design techniques for both exact and noisy data, thereby revealing a more general theory. The result is also applied to data-driven control of Lur'e systems.
