Audience

This 6-credit module is primarily offered to students of the Master of Science in Control Engineering (MCER) of the Facoltà di Ingegneria dell'Informazione, Informatica e Statistica of Sapienza University of Rome. Any student with a basic control background is welcome.

Objective

This course provides some advanced tools in the frequency domain for the analysis and control of multivariable linear systems with particular emphasis on performance and robustness.


Syllabus

Single Input - Single Output (SISO) systems:
- performance and performance limitations
- robustness (additive and multiplicative representations) in the frequency domain, unstructured vs structured uncertainty
- small gain theorem
- general control problem
- robust stability and robust performance

Multiple Inputs - Multiple Outputs (MIMO) systems:
- Singular Value Decomposition, directionability
 - loop shaping
- robustness, structured singular value (SSV)
- mu-synthesis control problem

Case studies

Students are strongly encouraged to do the projects/homework that will be distributed along the course duration.
