The integration of advanced linear parameter-varying and classical proportional-integral-derivative control methods has attracted great attention in control of nonlinear dynamic systems. However, linear parameter-varying proportional-integral-derivative control synthesis is a nonconvex bilinear matrix inequality problem. Although the synthesis conditions can be convexified in the case of proportional-integral control, a strong constraint on the structure of matrix variables usually leads to infeasible solutions. In this paper, a linear parameter-varying proportional-integral control design method is proposed to remove that constraint. The approach is based on the assumption of state-feedback proportional-integral control to guarantee the linear matrix inequality variables to be full matrices instead of block diagonal matrices, and extended linear matrix inequalities are proposed to synthesize the controller. This increases the likelihood of finding feasible linear matrix inequality solutions and reduces the conservatism. The proposed method is applied to control longitudinal and lateral dynamics of an F-16 aircraft and promising simulation results are obtained.
