framework. We again assume the simplifying assumptions used in Section 2.3.4 The H
2
design solution is obtained (at least conceptually) from the H
design procedure by
setting γ = and using the resulting central controller. It is interesting to compare the
H
solution, given above, and the H
2
solution given below.

We commented above that the controller, K
2
, is (conceptually) obtained by choosing
γ = in the H
design procedure. This does not mean that G
= ; it simply
means that we can make no a priori prediction about G
for this controller. K
2
minimizes G
2
and yields a finite G
. As such, it is often useful for determining an
