Research Initiation Award: Synthesis of Practically Implementable Robust Controllers

9309123 Bamieh稳健控制器的设计在过去十年中取得了长足的进步，产生了复杂的设计理论和算法，可以在存在不确定性的情况下产生高性能的控制器，并使设计师能够探索控制系统配置性能的基本极限。然而，理论设计问题忽略了一些重要的实现问题和约束，因此鲁棒控制设计目前倾向于用于研究性能极限，而不是实际产生控制器。所提出的研究是围绕在鲁棒控制器设计理论中包含一般实现约束和要求的思想。一个例子是具有连续时间性能目标的采样数据控制器的设计，这源于采样数据控制器的考虑。带实现约束的控制器设计是一个具有理论挑战性的问题，它们的解决将极大地提高鲁棒控制理论在控制实践中的适用性。***

9309123 Bamieh The design of robust controllers has progressed significantly in the past decade, resulting in sophisticated design theories and algorithms that produce high performance controllers in the presence of uncertainty, and enabling the designer to probe the fundamental limits of performance of control systems configurations. However, theoretical design problems ignore some important implementations issues and constraints, and thus robust control designs tend to be currently used for investigating limits of performance rather than actually producing the controllers. The proposed research is centered around the idea of incorporating general implementation constraints and requirements in the theory of robust controller design. An example is the design of sampled-data controllers with continuous-time performance objectives, which arise from the consideration that sampled-data controllers. Controller design with implementation constraints give rise to theoretically challenging problems, and their solution will greatly enhance the applicability of robust control theory to control practice. ***
