Minimum phase robustness margin for second-order systems with multidirectional perturbations (Q705924)

The authors apply standard tools of robust control theory to assess the effect of data uncertainty or perturbation on the location of the transmission zeros of a mass-spring linear system. Frequency domain conditions of the \(\mu\)-analysis type are derived to ensure that the minimum-phase property (i.e. the location of the zeros in the open left-half plane) is preserved under the presence of structured uncertainty (Theorem 1) or unstructured uncertainty (Corollary 1) on the data describing the system sensors and/or actuators. The minimum-phase property, in addition to stability, is a desirable system feature allowing fast regulation with no undershoot in closed loop.
