This chapter introduces the linear fractional transformation (LFT), which is a convenient and powerful formulation in control system analysis and controller synthesis. The LFT formulation employs a two-port ma...
Chapter
Coprime factorization originates from algebra studied by French mathematician E. Bezout [1]. In recent years, it has been used to describe dynamic systems [6]. Coprime factorization can be applied in controlle...
Chapter
For a control system under investigation, an important design objective is to find a controller such that the closed-loop system satisfies a set of desired specifications. Furthermore, it is desirable to chara...
Chapter
This chapter will briefly introduce two-port network descriptions which are closely related to that of the general control framework involving descriptions using LFT and CSD. The two-port network was developed...
Chapter
The chain scattering-matrix description (CSD) of a two-port network, first introduced in Chap. 2, originated from the conventional electrical circuit theory. In contrast to the LFT, the CSD developed in the ne...
Chapter
In the last chapter, it was discussed that the algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) need be solved in order to obtain the state-space solutions of the normalized coprime factorizations. In Chap. 2, the Lyapunov eq...
