We review the so-called nonstandard mixed sensitivity problem, which introduces an integrator to a selected weight, as well as the linear classical disturbance suppression problem and the linear H∞ disturbance suppression problem. We extend this H∞ problem to the nonlinear case, and present a method to reduce the order of the state feedback Hamilton-Jacobi PDE (Partial Differential Equation) for this nonlinear H∞ problem by extending the concept of comprehensive stability [8] [7]. Finally, we investigate the structure of the output feedback H∞ controller for disturbance suppression, and draw the conclusion that, as in the linear case, there must also be an integrator in the controller.Keywords: Asymptotic stability; Control system synthesis; Feedback control; Interference suppression; Linear control systems; Nonlinear control systems; Optimal control systems; Partial differential equations; Riccati equations; Sensitivity analysis; Disturbance su20002015-12-12
