Advanced Robust Control

ZHAI GUISHENG
Course content
The approach based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) is now an important tool in analysis and design of modern control. We will first review some basic modern control theory, and then learn from convex sets, convex functions and proceed to definition of LMIs in control theory. Thereafter, we present the system analysis (focusing on stability) and design (focusing on stabilization and robustness) with LMIs. Numerical simulations are also described and practiced in MATLAB and Simulink.
Purpose of class
The approach based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) is now an important tool in analysis and design of modern control. We will learn from convex sets, convex functions and then proceed to definition of LMIs in control theory. Thereafter, we present the system analysis (focusing on stability) and design (focusing on stabilization and robustness) with LMIs. Numerical simulations are also described and practiced in MATLAB and Simulink.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can understand basic modern control theory, master the definition of convex sets, convex functions and apply basic idea of convex programming.
  2. Students can understand the definition and properties of LMIs, and perform basic simulation for solving LMIs.
  3. Students can derive and solve LMIs for analysis and design of modern control systems.
