Nonlinear performance of a PI controlled missile: an explanation

Considers the practical interest of an approach to nonlinear system analysis. Based on the incremental norm, this approach proposes performance and robustness analysis criteria. Using computationally efficient tests involving linear matrix inequality optimization, these criteria enable us to guarantee the performance and the robustness of a realistic PI controlled nonlinear missile.
