Place: Visionen

Outline:

An introduction to robust control.

• With particular emphasis on the H-infinity loop-shaping design method and the nu-gap metric.
• Including implementation issues such as controller conditioning (for anti-windup and switching).

Issues in closed-loop identification.

• A nu-gap interpretation of stochastic techniques.
• nu-gap methods for deterministic id.

The beginnings of a new theory for large scale interconnections.

• A nu-gap/behavioural framework for studying the robustness of generic large interconnections.
• Special results for special networks (the Internet).
