Synopsis

Control systems particularly designed to manage uncertainties are called robust control systems. Choosing appropriate design methods, the influence of uncertainties on the closed-loop behaviour can be reduced to a large extent. Most of the important areas of robust control are covered. The aim of the book is to provide an introduction to the theory and methods of robust control system design, to present a coherent body of knowledge, to clarify and unify presentation of significant derivations and proofs. The book contains a thorough treatment of important material of uncertainties and robust control which is scattered throughout the literature. Some important problems treated in this book are: - How is uncertainty described and bounded when ap- plying methods of differential equations, transfer functions or transfer matrices, state-space al- gorithms, matrix norms and measures, function norms, Kronecker calculus or some approximating calculus? - Which uncertainty or which perturbation in some spe- cial system description forces the system to instabil- ity? (Stability, radius, resolvent matrix, structured sin- gular value, differential sensitivity and small-scale robustness) - Which kind of controller is able to tolerate maximum uncertainty? (Internal model principles, parametri- zation and coprime factorization of systems and mini- max frequency domain optimization techniques in the Hardy space) - Sliding mode robust control, singularly perturbed sys- tems and several decomposition techniques at a gen- eral and abstract level
