  • Analysis and Synthesis of Dynamic Systems with Positive Characteristics

    by Jun Shen ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This thesis develops several systematic and unified approaches for analyzing dynamic systems with positive characteristics or a more general cone invariance property. Based on these analysis results, it uses linear programming tools to address static output feedback synthesis problems with a focus on optimal gain performances. Owing to their low computational complexity, the established controller ... Read more
