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 …

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 …

A tutorial introduction to the complex structured singular value (μ) is presented, with an
emphasis on the mathematical aspects of μ. The μ-based methods discussed here have …

This monograph presents a collection of results, observations, and examples related to
dynamical systems described by linear and nonlinear ordinary differential and difference …

In recent years, considerable progress has been achieved in the use of quadratic Lyapunov
functions for the robust analysis and stabilization of uncertain systems. This paper presents …

The last thirty years have witnessed an enormous effort in the field of robust control of
dynamical systems. The main objective of this book is that of presenting, in a unified …

L2-gain analysis is used to characterise conditions under which an uncertain switched
system is uniformly quadratically stable (UQS) with an L2-gain smaller than a constant γ …

In this technical note, the problem of designing fixed-order robust H infin controllers is
considered for linear systems affected by polytopic uncertainty. A polynomial method is …

This article considers a path tracking control problem for autonomous vehicles constrained
to maintain a safe distance from the next vehicle in the lane. The control design problem is …

In this paper (with its IP protected contents), we demonstrate that the current literature,
eigenvalue based Autopilot Design (labeled as Transformation Compliant (TC) design) …
