006 From Nyquist to Kharitonov. Synthesis of Robust Controllers C. Adballah, P Dorato, F P&rez, D. Docampo, pp 23.26 This paper p~sents new ways of robusdy stabhTmg a fam_tly of smgle-mput-smgle-ontput (SISO) systems, by combining He. and extreme-point results The mouvatton for the paper as that the stabthzauon of more than 2 plants LSan open problem that greatly lmuts the apphcauon of most recent extreme-point stabthzabthty results
The focus of tins paper is the problem of synthessnng a controller whtch achteves "robust performance" for a gsven fanuly of lmcar systems, obtained as a result of structured ~ uncertainty The vector of uncertain parameters corresponds to plant coefficaents and Is restncted to a sphere The problem of syntheslnng such a controller as eqmvalent to ~ mterpolauon problem mvolvmg a frequency-dependant "fourth-order set" m the complex plane. For the specud case when the controller has a fixed structure, tl-us mteqmlauon problem as transferred to the space of controller parameten For controllen descnbed by two or three perameten, a complete soluuon to the synthesas problem as obtained
007 Power Distribution Approach in Robust Control A. Megretski, pp 27-30 It ts shown how recent robust control methods, mcludmg msynthcsas, quadrauc stahhty, operator passxvtty (posmvlty), noulmear opurmzauon, H-mfimty control, et al , c.m be c o m h n e d within the power chstnbuuon framework, to 3qeld a umfied way of solvmg vanom stabday/pedormance analysas and synthests problems Conservauveness assues are also dascussed
002 Robust Control Synthesis by Convex Optimization Projective Parameterization and Duality A. Megretski, A Rantzar, pp 5-8 Th~ paper treats a robustness olxumzauon problem for Imear ume-mvanant systems wah real parmnemc unceruunty It as shown that arbxtrardy aceurate upper and lower bounds on the optnnal "robustnessmargm" can be obtained by firate-¢hmenslonal c~lvex olXmuzaUon The upper bound as based on a new duahty result for a generahzed mturpolauon problem
008 Robust Nonlinear H~/Adaptive Control of Robot Manipulator Motion Weining Feng, I. Postlethwaite, pp 31-34 In roboucs, uncemunues are always present and sometnnes slgmficent. In tins paper, modelling errors are represented by a class of bounded dasturbances m the mpet control channels (torques) of the robot. A measure of the robot system's abthty to reject these &smrbances xs formulated m a nonlmcar Hoe norm sense and a control desxgn as proposed to achaeve optanal dasturbance rejection If more-detailed mfonnauou as avatlable on the plant/medel masmateh, the control destgn can be mod~e.d to ~ t e an adapttve scheme to reduce conservauveness and nnpmve robust performance. It as shown how the nonlinear quadrauc optmuzauon problem as a specaal case of noulmear He. opmmzauen
003 Robust Pole Placement Using Two-Pole Dominant Models P padmanabhaa, C.V. Hollot, W. Siegl, pp 9-14 Tim paper couslders the problem of rotmst pole placement usm8 fixed-order compensaUon It ts assumed that the ccefficlents of the numerator and dencmmator polynouaals of the uncellmn pla~t depend molulmeady on the "parameters" and that the des~,n specaflcauons are 81yen m the form of a two-pole dominant model A des~n methodology for choosmg a fixed-order compensator as presented, winch ensures that all the roots of the dosed-lnop polynomud he m the reglens pt~.scnbed by the two-pole dominant model

An He. control problem as solved when D12 as of row full rank and/or D2t as of colmrm full rank, and an exphcat paramemzauon of the Hoe controller as denved. Proper use of free parameters of the He. controller enables one to doslsn a control system havmg better control performance than the convenuoml H~ control system where D12 and Dgt are assumed to be of column full rank and row full rank, respecuvely
Convement tests for D-stabthty, Hoe-norm constntmts and gain/phase margin constramts of one-paranmter systems are proposed m thts paper. These tests are conducted on the barn of the sxgn defimte conchuon and the Euchdean algorithm m mamx form, which can be camed out m a fimte number of steps
