Stability radii of systems with stochastic uncertainty and their optimization by output feedback

D Hinrichsen, AJ Pritchard - SIAM journal on control and optimization, 1996 - SIAM
We consider linear plants controlled by dynamic output feedback which are subjected to
blockdiagonal stochastic parameter perturbations. The stability radii of these systems are …

Destabilization by output feedback

On the calculation of time‐varying stability radii

F Wirth - International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
The problem of calculating the maximal Lyapunov exponent (generalized spectral radius) of
a discrete inclusion is formulated as an average yield optimal control problem. It is shown …

The Lyapunov spectrum of families of time-varying matrices

F Colonius, W Kliemann - Transactions of the American Mathematical …, 1996 - ams.org
For $ L^{\infty} $-families of time varying matrices centered at an unperturbed matrix, the

Exponential stability and solution bounds for systems with bounded nonlinearities

A Zevin, M Pinsky - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Estimation of Lyapunov exponents of systems with bounded nonlinearities plays an
essential part in their robust control. Known results in this field are based on the Gronwall …

Robustness measures for linear systems with application to stability radii of Hurwitz and Schur polynomials

D Hinrichsen, AJ Pritchard - International Journal of Control, 1992 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we consider robustness measures (stability radii) for system matrices which are
subjected to structured real and complex perturbations of the form A↦ A+ BDC where B, C …

Linear control semigroups acting on projective space

F Colonius, W Kliemann - Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations, 1993 - Springer
Linear control semigroups L⊂= Gl (d, R) are associated with semilinear control systems of
the form where A: R m→ gl (d, R) is continuous in some open set containing U. The …

Dynamics of time-varying discrete-time linear systems: Spectral theory and the projected system

F Wirth - SIAM journal on control and optimization, 1998 - SIAM
We study structural properties of linear time-varying discrete-time systems. At first an
associated system on projective space is introduced as a basic tool to understand the linear …
