- Q
Real symmetric matrix, with same dimensions as P.A
- R
full rank real symmetric matrix
- S
real matrix, the default value is
zeros(size(R,1),size(Q,2))
- K
a real matrix, the optimal gain
- X

Description
- Syntax
[K,X]=lqr(P)
Computes the linear optimal LQ full-state gain K for the state space representation P
And instantaneous cost function in l2-norm:- Syntax
[K,X]=lqr(P,Q,R [,S])
Computes the linear optimal LQ full-state gain K for the linear dynamical system P:
And instantaneous cost function in l2-norm:In this case the P.C and P.D components of the system are ignored.
Algorithm
For a continuous plant, if X is the stabilizing solution of the Riccati equation:
(A - B.R-1.S)'.X + X.(A - B.R-1.S) - X.B.R-1.B'.X + Q - S'.R-1.S = 0
the linear optimal LQ full-state gain K is given by
K = -R-1(B'X + S')
For a discrete plant, if X is the stabilizing solution of the Riccati equation:
A'.X.A - X - (A'.X.B + S')(B'.X.B + R)+(B'.X.A + S) + Q = 0
the linear optimal LQ full-state gain K is given by
K = -(B'.X.B + R)+(B'.X.A + S)
An equivalent form for the equation is
with
The gain K
is such that A + B.K
is stable.
The resolution of the Riccati equation is obtained by schur factorization of the 3-blocks matrix pencils associated with these Riccati equations:
