Weighted sensitivity minimization: General plants in \(H^{\infty}\) and rational weights (Q1120523)

The authors considers the problem of determining the singular values and vectors of a class of Hankel operators. They give a very nice determinantal formula for the optimal sensitivity and solve a conjecture of \textit{K. Zhou} and \textit{P. P. Khargonekar} [Syst. Control Lett. 8, 307- 312 (1987; Zbl 0621.93015)] relating these singular values to the zeros of the determinant of the Hamiltonian of the state space representation of W.
