Verifying stabilizing controllers via closed-loop noisy data: MIMO case

This article introduces novel tests which utilize a limited amount of experimental and possibly noisy data obtained from a stable closed-loop system, i.e. an interconnection of an existing known stabilizing controller and an unknown plant, to infer if the introduction of a prospective controller will stabilize the unknown plant. This extends our earlier results to include the MIMO systems.
