The last thirty years have witnessed an enormous effort in the field of robust
control of dynamical systems. The main objective of this book is that of
presenting, in a unified framework, the main results appeared in the literature
on this topic, with particular reference to the robust stability problem for
linear systems subject to time-varying uncertainties.
The book mainly focuses on those problems for which a definitive solution
has been found; indeed most of the results we shall present are given in the
form of necessary and sufficient conditions involving the feasibility of Linear
Matrix Inequalities based problems.
For self-containedness purposes, most of the results provided in the book
are proven.We have tried to maintain the development of the proofs as simple
as possible, without sacrificing the mathematical rigor.
