Asymmetric sufficient condition for stability robustness of singular systems with structures parameter uncertainties (Q5939791)

Assume that the pencil \((E,A)\) of real matrices is regular, of index at most \(1\), and asymptotically stable. Here, asymptotically stable has two alternative meanings: \(sE-A\) is regular for all complex numbers \(s\) with non-negative real part, or for all complex numbers \(s\) with \(|s|\geq 1\). For given matrices \(H_i\), \(i\in\{1,\dots,m\}\), and \(k\in\mathbb{R}^m\), the paper gives a sufficient condition for the pencil \((E,A+\varepsilon H)\) to be regular, of index at most \(1\), and asymptotically stable for all \(\varepsilon\in[0,1]\), where \(H=\sum_i k_i H_i\). That condition has the form of two linear inequalities in \(k\) with coefficients depending on the signs of the numbers \(k_i\), on the matrix measure of certain matrices, and on the supremum of the matrix measure of \((qE-A)^{-1}H_i\) for purely imaginary \(q\) and \(|q|=1\), respectively. The set of those \(k\) that fulfill that condition is not necessarily symmetric with respect to the origin.
