Course Outline


¡®Robust control ¡¯ introduces the basic components and methods of robust control to the graduate students; the main content includes: systems¡¯ performance index, stability of feedback systems, robust analysis and control of the uncertainty systems, linear fraction transformation(LFT), structure singular value(SSV), Riccati equation theory, the controller design of the optimization of input/output norm index etc. The course needs the basic knowledge of modern control theory and linear algebra. The goal is mastering the basic methods in the robust control, designing the controller and reading the frontier papers readily.
