LMIs in Control/LMI Matrix Properties/Maximum Singular Value of a Complex Matrix

Maximum Singular Value of a Complex Matrix

The System

Consider $A\in \mathbb {R} ^{n\times m}$ as well as $\gamma$. A maximum singular value of a matrix $A$ is less than $\gamma$ if and only if $AA^{H}<\gamma ^{2}I$, where $A^{H}$ is the conjugate transpose or Hermitian transpose of the matrix $A$.

The Data

The matrix $A$ is the only data required.

The LMI: Maximum Singular Value of a Complex Matrix

Using the Shur complement procedure, the following LMIs can be constructed:

${\begin{aligned}{\bar {\sigma }}(A)<\gamma \\{\begin{bmatrix}\gamma I&A\\A^{H}&\gamma I\end{bmatrix}}&>0\\\end{aligned}}$

The following LMI is also equivalent:

${\begin{aligned}{\bar {\sigma }}(A)<\gamma \\{\begin{bmatrix}\gamma I&A^{H}\\A&\gamma I\end{bmatrix}}&>0\\\end{aligned}}$

Conclusion:

The results from this LMI will give the maximum complex value of the matrix $A$:

${\begin{aligned}{\bar {\sigma }}(A)<\gamma \end{aligned}}$
