Abstract This paper addresses the problem of robust and optimal control for the class of nonlinear quadratic systems subject to norm-bounded parametric uncertainties and disturbances. By using an approach based on the guaranteed cost control theory, a technique is proposed to design a state feedback controller ensuring for the closed-loop system: (i) the local exponential stability of the zero equilibrium point; (ii) the inclusion of a given region into the domain of exponential stability of the equilibrium point; (iii) the satisfaction of a guaranteed level of performance, in terms of boundedness of some optimality indexes. In particular, a sufficient condition for the existence of a state feedback controller satisfying a prescribed integral–quadratic index is provided, followed by a sufficient condition for the existence of a state feedback controller satisfying a given L 2 -gain disturbance rejection constraint. By the proposed design procedures, the optimal control problems dealt with here can be efficiently solved as Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization problems.
