A two-degree-of-freedom controller architecture and its design strategy for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems, where the dependent parameters are assumed to be measurable, are proposed in the generalized internal model control (GIMC) framework. First, coprime factorization and Youla parameterization for LPV systems are introduced based on a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function. Then, the GIMC architecture for linear time-invariant systems is extended to LPV systems with these descriptions. Based on this architecture, good tracking performance and good robustness (disturbance rejection) are compatibly achieved by a nominal controller and a conditional controller, respectively. Furthermore, each controller design problem is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities related to each L2-gain performance. Finally, a simple design example is illustrated.
