Robustness results in linear-quadratic Gaussian based multivariable control designs

The robustness of control systems with respect to model uncertainty is considered using simple frequency domain criteria. Available and new results are derived under a common framework in which the minimum singular value of the return differences transfer matrix is the key quantity. In particular, robustness results associated with multivariable control systems designed on the basis of linear-quadratic (LQ) and the linear-quadratic Gaussian (LQG) design methodologies are presented.
