Abstract

In this paper, we present novel convex optimization formulations for designing full-state and output-feedback controllers with sparse actuation that achieve user-specified H2\mathcal{H}_2 and H\mathcal{H}_\infty performance criteria. For output-feedback control, we extend these formulations to simultaneously design control laws with sparse actuation and sensing. The sparsity is induced through the minimization of a weighted 1\ell_1 norm, promoting the efficient use of sensors and actuators while maintaining desired closed-loop performance. The proposed methods are applied to a nonlinear structural dynamics problem, demonstrating the advantages of simultaneous optimization of the control law, sensing, and actuation architecture in realizing an efficient closed-loop system.
