The Development of Theory and Design Methodology for Robust Controllers in The Parameter Space

本研究改进在少数民族机构（RIMI）项目将重点发展的理论和设计方法的鲁棒控制器的线性系统具有不确定参数。这是当今控制理论的关键问题之一。这项工作的研究将考虑数学模型以及合理和预期的扰动。本研究将考察的一些参数包括时间常数、时间延迟、互连增益、载荷、摩擦系数和化学反应速率。这种对线性系统的鲁棒稳定性和稳定性的复杂研究将显著提高一个拥有大量少数民族学生的机构的研究能力。主要研究人员是著名的实验家，他们在期刊上发表了大量论文。从事此计画的教师和学生将加强他们对时间延迟系统的知识。

This Research Improvement in Minority Institutions (RIMI) project will focus on the development of theory and design methodology of robust controllers for linear systems with uncertain parameters. This is one of the crucial problems in control theory today. Studies for this work will take mathematical models into consideration as well as reasonable and expected perturbations. Some of the parameters that will be examined in this study include time constants, time delays, interconnection gains, loads, friction coefficients, and chemical reaction rates. This complex investigation of robust stability and stabilization for linear systems will measurably increase the research capability of an institution that has a significantly large minority student population. The principal investigators are noted experimentalists who have published widely in refereed journals. Faculty and students working on this project will strengthen their knowledge of time - delay systems.
