The implementation of a controller, if not exact, may lead to the so-called fragility problem, ie,
the loss of expected closed-loop properties. In the present note, this difficult problem is dealt …

We present a generalization of the coprime factors model reduction method of Meyer and
propose a balanced truncation reduction algorithm for a class of systems containing linear …

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally designing the experimental conditions for
LPV system identification with the local approach. Such an LPV system identification …

The problems of robust stability analysis and state feedback control based on gain-
scheduling for continuous-time systems with time-varying parameters that have bounded …

In the present paper, a Takagi–Sugeno (TS) model is used to simultaneously represent the
behaviour of a nonlinear system and its saturated actuators. With the TS formalism and the …

In this paper an analysis of the complexity involved in the implementation and synthesis of
linear parameter-varying (LPV) controllers is presented. Its purpose is to provide guidance in …

The controller design for complex nonlinear systems using the framework of linear
parameter-varying (LPV) systems often leads to high costs in modeling, synthesis and …

DESPITE the vast body of work on the application of gain-scheduling techniques to missile
autopilot design, designing such a control system remains a challenging synthesis problem …

Integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) can be used for proving stability of systems with
uncertainties and nonlinearities. Similarly, IQCs can also be used for controller synthesis …

This paper addresses the problem of parameter dependent state feedback control (ie gain
scheduling) for linear systems with parameters that are assumed to be available (measured …
