Synthesis of controllers for multivariate systems with a given radius of stability margin by the \(H_\infty\)-optimization method (Q1881973)

Output controllers guaranteeing a given radius of stability margin for linear multivariate systems are synthesized. This radius defines the bounds of the guaranteed stability margin for phase and gain when the object-controller loop is broken by the physical output or input. This problem is solved through an equivalent \(H_{\infty}\)-optimization problem, which yields necessary and sufficient conditions. Several computational aspects are discussed.
