In this paper, we consider the design method of robust guaranteed cost controller for discrete-time singular systems with norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainty. In order to get the optimum(minimum) value of guaranteed cost, an optimization problem is given by linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. The sufficient condition for the existence of controller and the upper bound of guaranteed cost function are proposed in terms of strict LMIs without decompositions of system matrices. Numerical examples are provided to show the validity of the presented method.
