Abstract
This paper considers linear time invariant systems with sector type nonlinearities and proposes regional ℒ︁2performance analysis and synthesis methods based on the circle criterion. In particular, we consider the effect of non‐zero initial states and/or an ℒ︁2disturbance inputs on the ℒ︁2norm of a selected performance output. We show that both analysis and synthesis problems can be recast as linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization problems, where, for synthesis, the outputs of the nonlinear elements are assumed available for control. Moreover, it is shown when the circle criterion does or does not help to improve the performance bound in robust control synthesis when compared with the existing linear analysis method.
