a question about lmi

Xiao Ma — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:57:02 -0500

I have two Lmis to solve,and I use lmi toolbox.

The question is:
the first lmi I use a matrix variable X(s.t lmi(1,[4,1])).
but in the second lmi,I have to use the inverse of the variable X.
How can I represent the inverse of variable X in the second without define a new variable?

Thanks for help

Hi Xiao

This is not an LMI if it depends on both X and inv(X). The L stands for
"linear" (with respect to X). May be there is a way to rewrite it as a
linear expression in X
