Robustness in the presence of mixed parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics

Continuing the development of the structured singular value approach to robust control design, the authors investigate the problem of computing mu in the case of mixed real parametric and complex uncertainty. The problem is shown to be equivalent to a smooth constrained finite-dimensional optimization problem. In view of the fact that the functional to be maximized may have several local extrema, an upper bound on mu whose computation is numerically tractable is established; this leads to a sufficient condition of robust stability and performance. A historical perspective on the development of the mu theory is included. >
