Robust Control Tools: Graphical User-Interfaces and LMI Algorithms

Abstract

Robust control theory considers a fundamental and practically important issue in control engineering: plant uncertainty. It turns out that many of the simplest questions are very difficult to solve, but researchers have made considerable progress over the last twenty years. Nevertheless the theory has so far had less impact on practice than one might imagine. (Simulation and modeling tools, for example, have probably had a wider impact on practice.) Recent techniques of robust control theory, based on convex optimization over linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), coupled with new user-interfaces, might change this.
