In this paper, based on the variational approach, the control laws to H**2 and H**infty control problems are derived for linear time-varying systems. The variational approach allows the formulation of H**2 and H**infty - optimal control problems without the limitations placed by the orthogonality assumptions. For output feedback situation, the H**2 and H** infty - optimal state estimaters are also proposed in this reaserch through the properties of duality. The state feedback and the estimater gians are then determined by simply solving two Riccati differtial equations. Since an iteration for searching for H**infty - suboptimal control laws is needed, a computer algorithm is also attached. The theoretical developments are applied to three examples for illustrative purposes.
