IMPROVEMENT OF SYSTEMS RELIABILITY USING ROBUST-CONTROL THEORY

In recent years reliable methods for designing multivariable feedback control systems have been intensively studied. System problems such as sensitivity, minimalization, robustnes to model uncertainties and systems fault tolerance have been the subject of particular investigations aiming to improve MIMO systems reliability. The purpose of this paper is to present some recent results in the area of linear multivariable control systems reliability improvement, which have been obtained using robustness theory. The research reported here is less than ten years old and is in continuous progress.
