Abstract
All solutions to the four block general distance problem which arises in H^∞ optimal control are characterized. The procedure is to embed the original problem in an all-pass matrix which is constructed. It is then shown that part of this all-pass matrix acts as a generator of all solutions. Special attention is given to the characterization of all optimal solutions by invoking a new descriptor characterization of all-pass transfer functions. As an application, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of an H^∞ optimal controller. Following that, a descriptor representation of all solutions is derived.
