Abstract :
Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT), a robust control design method introduced by Horowitz, has been shown to be useful in many cases of multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) parametrically uncertain systems. Prominent is the capability for direct design to closed loop frequency response specifications. The theory and development of optimization-based aigorithms for design of minimum-gain controllers is presented.
