Robust Stability Under Mixed Time Varying, Time Invariant and Parametric Uncertainty
Abstract
Robustness analysis is considered for systems with structured uncertainty involving a combination of linear time-invariant and linear time-varying perturbations, and parametric uncertainty. A necessary and sufficient condition for robust stability in terms of the structured singular value p is obtained, based on a finite augmentation of the original problem. The augmentation corresponds to considering the system at a fixed number of frequencies. Sufficient conditions based on scaled small-gain are also considered and characterized. A substantial amount of research in recent years has been devoted to analysis and synthesis of control systems o achieve robust stability and performance in the presence of structured uncertainty. This implies a decentralized nature of the uncertain perturbation, which is a reasonable modeling choice for complex systems, where uncertainty may be introduced at the subsystem level (see Safonov [17] and Doyle [5] for early treatments of this). In addition t o this "spatial" structure, different assumptions can be made on the dynamic properties of the uncertainty: real parametric, linear time invariant (LTI), linear time varying (LTV) or nonlinear perturbations. All these uncertainty classes arise naturally in modeling. Parametric uncertainty appears frequently in first principles models; LTI perturbations are well suited when
