kronecker product in LMIs

[Luis Felix]

I am using tMATLAB?s lmi editor. I am having problems with

[kron(L,P)+kron(M,A*P)]<0

The errors are:
1. Constant terms in diagonal blocks must be symmetric
2. Error using + dimension must agree.

Matrices L, P, M and A are of proper dimension, I verified twice.
L, M and A are constant matrices and P is a variable matrix. It is a Lyapunov symmetric matrix, propery defined.
I have another LMIs and everything worked fine until I added the kronecker product.

I hope someone can help me with this issue. I am reading the .pdf LMI toolbox guide but I have not found anything regarding the use of kronecker product in MATLAB lmi editor.

That second error sounds as if the sizes of your matrices are actually incorrect. You have to satisfy three requirements here: 1) the number of columns in L is the same as the number of columns in M (for valid addition,) 2) the product of the number of rows in L and in P must equal the product of the number of rows in M and in A, (also for valid addition,) and 3) the number of columns in A must equal the number of rows in P (for a valid matrix product.)

Mr. Stafford,

Sorry to bother you again, I`ll extend my case because last time I did not include enough information.

I enter the following matrices:

A1=[0 1;17.29 0];
A2=[0 1;10.576 0];
B1=[0;-0.176];
B2=[0;-0.026];
Cz=[0.01 0;0 0];
D=[0;0.01];
Bw=[0;0.01];
L=[-9.9 -10;-10 -9.9];
M=[0 1;0 0];

I open the lmi editor and define the following variables

setlmis([]);
P=lmivar(1,[2 1]);
Y1=lmivar(2,[1 2]);
Y2=lmivar(2,[1 2]);

The Pmatrix is the Lyapunov matrix, positive definite

I enter the following lmis:

[A1*P+P*A1'+B1*Y1+Y1'*B1' Bw P*Cz'+Y1'*D'; Bw' -0.01 0;Cz*P+D*Y1 0 -1]<0 %LMI1

[A1*P+P*A1'+B1*Y2+Y2'*B1' Bw P*Cz'+Y2'*D'; Bw' -0.01 0;Cz*P+D*Y2 0 -1]<0 %LMI2

[A2*P+P*A2'+B2*Y1+Y1'*B2' Bw P*Cz'+Y1'*D'; Bw' -0.01 0;Cz*P+D*Y1 0 -1]<0 %LIM3

[A2*P+P*A2'+B2*Y2+Y2'*B2' Bw P*Cz'+Y2'*D'; Bw' -0.01 0;Cz*P+D*Y2 0 -1]<0 %LMI4

[kron(L,P)+kron(M,A1*P)+kron(M,B1*Y1)]<0 %LMI5

P>0

All matrices have correct dimensions and comply with kronecker product, matrix multiplication and matrix addition. The first 4 LMI do have any problem, (I already run those), but when I add the fifth lmi, a problem arises.

??? Error using ==> plus
Matrix dimensions must agree

I double checked the matrices dimensions, they all agree. IN the kronecker product, the first term kron(L,P) generates a 4X4 matrix, as well as th second and third terms.

It is possible that I am using a wrong command for the kronecker product?

In adittion, in LMI5, If I keep only the term kron(M,A1*P), when I load the lms descriptions, I get this error message:

??? Error using ==> lmiterm
LMI #5, block (1,1): constant terms in diagonal blocks must be symmetric

Do you now about these error messages?

Thank you,

Luis Carlos Felix

Hello Luis

I have the similar problem,how did you resolve your problem?
how did you do?

best regards.

well i also got the same problem. i was using yalimp.
please check the matrix dimensions of L and M. it must be same. otherwise, you will get dimension error.
