On the solutions to complex parameter-dependent LMIs involved in the stability analysis of 2D discrete models

The aim of this short communique is to adapt a result established by Bliman, related to the possible approximation of the solutions to real-parameter-dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to the special context of stability analysis of 2D discrete Roesser models. While Bliman considered the case of LMIs involving several real parameters, which is especially crucial for the analysis of linear systems against parametric deflections, the stability of Roesser models leads to consider LMIs with only one single complex parameter. Extending the results from real parameters to complex ones is not straightforward in our opinion. This is why the present note discusses precautions to be taken concerning this case before applying the results in a 2D context. Actually, it is shown that a well-known condition for structural stability of a 2D discrete Roesser can be relaxed into an LMI system whose solution polynomially depends on a single complex parameter over the unit circle.
