Robust stability analysis of control systems with interval plants

From MaRDI portal





Given a scalar interval plant (i.e. numerator and denominator polynomial coefficients belong to given independent intervals) whose nominal (central) model is stabilized by a given controller, the paper describes an algorithm to compute the largest amount of uncertainty that can be tolerated without loosing stability: the so-called infinity-norm robust stability radius. The stability radius is obtained by solving eigenvalue problems on Hurwitz-like matrices, a standard problem of linear algebra. In view of existing results on robust stability analysis for polynomials, this could be expected. The paper is quite technical, notations are difficult to follow, and one may wonder whether the same results could not be obtained in a simpler way. As a result, it would certainly require a great deal of effort and patience to implement the algorithm in a computer-aided control system design environment.
