Description: Multi-input and multi-output feedback control; robustness analysis of control systems; H-infinity feedback control; performance limitations in control systems; system model reduction.
Objectives: After taking this course, the student should be able to:
1. Use singular value techniques to analyze the robustness of control systems.
2. Use H-infinity methods to incorporate frequency-domain and robustness specifications into multivariable control system designs.
3. Use H-infinity methods to design robust controllers.
4. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of H-infinity control relative to other control approaches.

Homework: In addition to written exercises, Matlab assignments will be given to demonstrate the theory in the text. You can work with others on homework, but identical homework assignments will be given a grade of zero. Late homework will not be accepted. Homework should be neat, the pages should be stapled with one staple in the upper left corner, and the problems should be in order.
Tests: Quizzes and Exams will be open-book and open-notes, but no electronic devices (e.g., calculators or laptops) will be allowed. No makeup quizzes or exams will be allowed without the prior permission of the instructor.
Project:
Each student will be responsible to choose and conduct a research project
based on some topic related to the course material. The project can involve the
application of a controller to some realistic problem, or it can be more
theoretical and involve the study and analysis of a journal or conference paper.
The project will be graded on the basis of written and oral status reports, a
written report handed in at the end of the semester, and an oral presentation
given during the last week of classes.
The written project reports are due at the end of the last regularly scheduled
class of the semester. Late project reports will not be accepted. The written report can be based on
the template at http://academic.csuohio.edu/simond/courses/Report%20Template.doc
although this is not required.
