New Methods in Robust Control.

Abstract

This report describes advances in robust control in three areas: Optimal H infinity control singular values, and dynamic inversion. The H infinity results are a thorough treatment of the theory as it has been developed over the last three years. The structured singular value section describes an application of the technique to represent inertia parametric variations in the Space Station. The dynamic inversion section addresses global stability of aircraft pitch axis dynamics using a dynamic inversion control approach. This document is the first draft of the final report for the program New Methods in Robust Control. The emphasis of this program was to develop mathematical theory to help control system designers faced with challenging control problems associated with advanced aerospace vehicles. Relevant applications include flight control systems for new Air force fighter/bomber aircraft, the F-18 HARV research vehicle, the NASP vehicle, the next generation launch system (ALS or NLS), and the Space Station.
