Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course will give a rigorous introduction to the analysis and design of linear multivariable control systems. The focus is on inherent limitations in feedback control systems and on stability and performance in the presence of uncertainty (robustness). Important topics include: classic frequency domain methods extended to multivariable systems, directionality in MIMO systems, input-output controllability, uncertainty descriptions, linear fractional transformations, robustness analysis including the structured singular value mu, mu-synthesis, H2- and H-infty controller synthesis, H-infty loop shaping, linear matrix inequalities, balanced model reduction
