Abstract: We consider the computation of H-infinity norms for Single-Input-Single-Output (SISO) time-delay systems, which are described by delay differential algebraic equations. Unlike the iterative level set methods in the literature, we present a novel numerical method to compute the H-infinity norm. This method requires solving one eigenvalue problem of at most twice the size of the eigenvalue problem in every iteration of a level set method, but in practice often considerably lower. We first show that the computation of extrema of the transfer function can be turned into the computation of the imaginary axis zeros of a transcendental function. We compute these zeros by a predictor-corrector type algorithm. It is known that the H-infinity norm of delay differential algebraic systems, which can model both retarded and neutral type systems, might be sensitive with respect to arbitrarily small delay perturbations. This recently led to the concept of strong H-infinity norms, which explicitly take into account such small delay perturbations. We present a direct numerical method to compute the strong H-infinity norm of SISO time-delay systems. Our algorithm is applicable to the closed-loop system of interconnections (series, parallel, feedback, junctions) of time-delay systems and/or controllers.
