Course Description:
Robust control is concerned with the problem of designing control systems when there is uncertainty about the model of the system to be controlled or when there are (possibly uncertain) external disturbances influencing the behavior of the system. In this course we will study the basic results in robust control that have been developed over the last fifteen years. This course provides a unified treatment of multivariable control system design for systems subject to uncertainty and performance requirements.
Course Topics:
1. Review of classical linear control
2. Signal/system norms and / spaces and internal stability.
3. Performance specifications and limitations.
4. Modeling uncertainty and robustness.
5. H2 and H¥ optimal control
6. LFT’s and mu synthesis.
Reading Assignments (Copies of the articles are available from the instructor)
Projects
Each student is required to do a design project. It will involve the modeling, design and analysis of an uncertain closed-loop control system. Example
past project reports can be found in http://www-ccec.ece.ucsb.edu/people/smith/classnotes/232/ .
Project topics and the assigned students are as follows :
