The basic topic of this book is solving problems from system and control theory using convex
optimization. We show that a wide variety of problems arising in system and control theory …

Robustness of control systems to disturbances and uncertainties has always been the
central issue in feedback control. Feedback would not be needed for most control systems if …

Simple state-space formulas are presented for a controller solving a standard H∞-problem.
The controller has the same state-dimension as the plant, its computation involves only two …

In this chapter we present a state space interpretation of the small gain and passivity
approach of the previous chapter. Moreover, we will come to some kind of synthesis …

" I believe that the authors have written a first-class book which can be used for a second or
third year graduate level course in the subject... Researchers working in the area will …

This text deals with the most fundamental deficiency of modern theory control: the lack of an
easily applicable method for the design of low order controllers. It shows that solutions to …

Previously obtained results on L2-gain analysis of smooth nonlinear systems are unified and
extended using an approach based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations and inequalities, and …

The problem of robustly stabilizing a linear uncertain system is considered with emphasis on
the interplay between the time-domain results on the quadratic stabilization of uncertain …

This paper presents all controllers for the general H∞ control problem (with no assumptions
on the plant matrices). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an H∞ …

Addressed is the problem of robust H/sub infinity/control design for linear uncertain systems
with time-varying norm-bounded uncertainty in both the state and input matrices. A state …
