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 servocompensation, 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.
