Our underlying idea is to directly treat the closed-loop transfer matrices from disturbances to input and output signals as design parameters and exploit their affine relationships. This input-output perspective is particularly effective when a doubly-coprime factorization is difficult to compute, or an initial stabilizing controller is challenging to find; most previous work requires one of these pre-computation steps. Instead, our approach can bypass such pre-computations, in the sense that a stabilizing controller is computed by directly solving a linear program (LP). Furthermore, we show that the proposed input-output parametrization allows for computing norm-optimal controllers subject to quadratically invariant (QI) constraints using convex programming.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1903.03828v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.03828v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-input-output-parametrization-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/nplawrence/stablebehavior.jl","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
