COURSE DESCRIPRTION: One of the most important properties of a well-designed feedback control system is its ability to perform satisfactorily despite uncertainty in plant model. This course presents fundamental concepts of robust control theory and its application in analysis and synthesis of controllers for linear systems subject to model uncertainties, noise and disturbances. Topics to be covered include: 1) Review of linear algebra and system theory: stability, norms, linear spaces, 2) Performance specifications and limitations, uncertainty and robustness, 3) Robust stability and performance criteria, mu analysis and synthesis, 4) An introduction to Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) and semi-definite programming, 5) Application of LMIs in H2 and Hinf optimal control and filtering problems, 6) Miscellaneous topics (if time allows) such as multi-objective optimal control, Time delay systems, Model reduction,... _______________________________________________________
