Necessary and sufficient conditions for robust perfect tracking under variable structure control

The tracking control of linear MIMO systems with structured uncertainty is considered. A necessary and sufficient condition for robust asymptotic tracking employing variable structure techniques in the presence of multiplicative uncertainty is derived. The constructive proof of the theorem provides an explicit formula for controller synthesis. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
