Abstract

We study the problem of co-designing control barrier functions (CBF) and linear state feedback controllers for continuous-time linear systems. We achieve this by means of a single semi-definite optimization program. Our formulation can handle mixed-relative degree problems without requiring an explicit safe controller. Different L-norm based input limitations can be introduced as convex constraints in the proposed program. We demonstrate our results on an omni-directional car numerical example.
