Linear parameter varying (LPV) analysis and controller synthesis theory rooted in the small gain and passivity framework currently exist. The study of conic systems encompasses both small gain and passivity properties, and herein, analysis and controller synthesis for polytopic conic systems is considered. Linear matrix inequality constraints are given to provide conic bounds for polytopic systems. In addition, given controller conic bounds, a control synthesis method is introduced. The polytopic conic controller is demonstrated on a heat exchanger in simulation, and compared to existing LPV control design techniques.
