title = "Gain scheduling control of gas turbine engines: Stability by computing a single quadratic lyapunov function",
abstract = "We develop and describe a stable gain scheduling controller for a gas turbine engine that drives a variable pitch propeller. A stability proof is developed for gain scheduled closed-loop system using global linearization and linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. Using convex optimization tools, a single quadratic Lyapunov function is computed for multiple linearizations near equilibrium and non-equilibrium points of the nonlinear closed-loop system. This approach guarantees stability of the closed-loop gas turbine engine system. Simulation results show the developed gain scheduling controller is capable of regulating a turboshaft engine for large thrust commands in a stable fashion with proper tracking performance.",
