Anotation:

This advanced course on control design will cover modern methods for optimal and robust control design. Emphasis will be put on practical computational design skills. Unifying idea of the course is that of minimization of a system norm. Depending on which norm is minimized, different properties of the resulting controller are guaranteed. Minimizing H2 norm leads to the celebrated LQ/LQG optimal control trading off the performance and the effort, while minimizing Hinf norm shifts the focus to robustness against uncertainties in the model. Mu-synthesis as an extensions to Hinf optimal control design that take the structure of the uncertainty into consideration represents a very powerfull tool for robust control design. Standing a little bit aside yet being useful in space missions are the methods for time-optimal and suboptimal control. As a self-contained add-on to the course, introduction to the topic of semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) will be made, as these constitute a very elegant theoretial and a powerful computational tool for solving all the previously introduced tasks in optimal and robust control.

Course outlines:

1. Static optimization
2. Discrete-time LQ control
3. Steady-state discrete-time LQ optimal control
4. Continuous LQ control
5. H2 optimal control
6. Time-optimal and suboptimal control (bang-bang control)
7. Analysis of robustness against unstructured dynamic uncertainty
8. Analysis of robustness against structured dynamic uncertainty (structured singular values)
9. Design of robust controllers minimizing mixed sensitivity function, H?-optimal control, Mu- synthesis (DK iterations)
10. Design of robust controllers by loopshaping (Glover-McFarlane)
11. LMI, semidefinite programming
12. Application of LMI in robust control: quadratic stability, Hinf
13. Model and controller order reduction

Exercises outline:

Following the topics of the lectures.

Literature:
