Robust Fixed-Structure Control

Abstract

This final report for AFOSR Grant F49620-92-J-0127 summarizes results obtained in five areas, namely, robust control, linear control, sampled-data control, tracking and disturbance rejection, and nonlinear control. Principal results include new bounds for the structured singular value, implementation of structured singular value synthesis using fixed-structure optimization techniques, a more rigorous foundation for the Maximum Entropy control technique, extensions of linear-quadratic control to stable stabilizing controllers, determination of the achievable performance of sampled-data controllers in the presence of sample-rate constraints, control of noise in an acoustic duct, stability theory for second-order systems, a rigorous treatment of Guyan reduction, a deterministic foundation for energy flow theory, a unified treatment of quadratic optimality and servo-compensation, nonlinear control of the spinning top and rotating bodies with known and unknown mass imbalance, global stabilization of the oscillating eccentric rotor using integrator backstepping, and Lyapunov theory for finite-time convergence. feedback control, Robustness, Nonlinear systems, Dynamics.
