This paper will very briefly review the history of the relationship between modern optimal control and robust control. The latter is commonly viewed as having arisen in reaction to certain perceived inadequacies of the former. More recently, the distinction has effectively disappeared. Once-controversial notions of robust control have become thoroughly mainstream, and optimal control methods permeate robust control theory. This has been especially true in H-infinity theory, the primary focus of…

A necessary and sufficient condition is presented to strictly decrease the quadratic optimal performance index after control input extensions and these results show an essential difference between single-input and multi-input control systems.

### ISSUES ON ROBUST ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK CONTROL

• Mathematics
• 2005
Some of the concepts and outstanding issues for a new methodology that blends robust nonadaptive mixed µ-synthesis and stochastic hypothesis-testing concepts leading to the so-called RMMAC architecture are illustrated.

### Robust stability of iterative learning control schemes

A notion of robust stability is developed for iterative learning control in the context of disturbance attenuation. The size of the unmodelled dynamics is captured via a gap distance, which in turn

The past three decades have witnessed important developments in the theory and practice of model predictive control (MPC). In particular, considerable effort has been devoted to robust MPC theory.

### Neo-robust control theory for factorized uncertainty

• Mathematics
Proceedings of the 48h IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) held jointly with 2009 28th Chinese Control Conference
• 2009
The idea of neo-robust control is extended to a class of uncertain systems with factorized uncertainty, which is good at describing the uncertainties arising in process control systems.

### Positive real method for robust control problems

• Mathematics
Proceedings of the 31st Chinese Control Conference
• 2012
This paper discusses the robust design problems for systems with positive real property. In such case, an effective method is to make the nominal closed loop system strongly positive real or strictly

It is shown that robust stability holds only if there exist constant scalings which lead to a small gain condition, and the notion of stability here is finite-gain stability over finite-energy signals.
