H-infinity control theory deals with the minimization of theH-infinity-norm of the transfer matrix from an exogenous disturbance to a pertinent controlled output of a given plant. Robust andH-infinity Controlexamines both the theoretical and practical aspects ofH-infinity control from the angle of the structural properties of linear systems. Constructive algorithms are provided for finding solutions to:• general singularH-infinity control problems;• generalH-infinity almost disturbance decoupling problems;• robust and perfect tracking problems. The theory presented in the earlier chapters of the text are also subsequently applied to real-life problems with actual implementations: gyro-stabilized mirror targeting; hard-disk-drive servo control and control of a piezoelectric actuator. Robust andH-infinity Controlcan be used for graduate courses in robust control and as a reference for academic researchers; the reader should have completed first-year graduate courses in linear systems and multivariable control. It will also be of great value to engineers practising in the process, electronics and aerospace industries. | Robust and H_ Control by Ben M. Chen, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
