Robust control design via game theoretic methods

The importance of game theoretic formulations in designing robust controllers has resurfaced in conjunction with advances in the H/sup infinity / problem. A survey is presented of several game theoretic results which are closely related and of potential value to robust controlled design. Using a game theoretic framework, the authors propose methods for robust control design in decentralized problems. It is shown that decentralized and certain multiobjective H/sup infinity / control problems can be handled by these methods.<<ETX>>
