This paper provides a review about the concept of convex systems based on Takagi-Sugeno, linear parameter varying (LPV) and quasi-LPV modeling. These paradigms are capable of hiding the nonlinearities by means of an equivalent description which uses a set of linear models interpolated by appropriately defined weighing functions. Convex systems have become very popular since they allow applying extended linear techniques based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to complex nonlinear systems. This survey aims at providing the reader with a significant overview of the existing LMI-based techniques for convex systems in the fields of control, observation and safety. Firstly, a detailed review of stability, feedback, tracking and model predictive control (MPC) convex controllers is considered. Secondly, the problem of state estimation is addressed through the design of proportional, proportional-integral, unknown input and descriptor observers. Finally, safety of convex systems is discussed by describing popular techniques for fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control (FTC).

This paper aims to present an approach for design of dynamic output feedback compensators for linear discrete-time descriptor systems subject to state and control constraints. To this end, output feedback controlled invariant polyhedra are constructed
by taking a pair of polyhedral sets: a controlled invariant set and a conditioned invariant set. By defining an augmented system composed of the original system plus the dynamic compensator, a control action can be computed online, which optimizes the contraction rate of the augmented state trajectory and enforces the constraints. The results are illustrated through numerical examples, which show that the proposed dynamic compensators
outperform static feedback controllers under the same conditions.
