Worst-Case HPerformance Under Structured Perturbations with Known Bounds
(1990)
The structured singular value (SSV or ) is known to be an effective tool for assessing robust performance of linear time- invariant models subject to structured uncertainty. Yet all a single analysis provides is a bound ...
User's Guite for FSQP Version 1.0: A Fortran Software for Solving Optimization Problems with General Inequality Constraints and Linear Equality Constraints, Generating Feasible Iterates.
(1989)
FSQP is a set of Fortran subroutines for the minimization of a smooth objective function subject to nonlinear smooth inequality constraints, linear inequality and linear equality constraints, and simple bounds on the ...
Robust Stability via the Guardian Map Approach: A Perspective
(1990)
Guardian and semiguardian maps were recently introduced as tools for investigating generalized stability of parametrized families of matrices and of polynomials. Here we give a brief survey of the motivation and scope of ...
Structured Singular Value and Geometry of the m-Form Numerical Range.
(1987)
Although the question of the numerical evaluation of Doyle's structured singular value has been repeatedly addressed, it is not yet entirely resolved in the case of block structures of size larger than 3. It has been shown ...
Characterization and Efficient Computation of the Structures Singular Value.
(1985)
The concept of structured singular value was recently Introduced by Doyle (Proc. IEEE, vol. 129, pp. 242-250, 1982) as a tool for the analysis and synthesis of feedback systems with structured uncertainties. It is a key ...
A Primal-Dual Interior-Point Method for Nonlinear Programming with Strong Global and Local Convergence Properties
(2001)
A scheme---inspired from an old idea due to Mayne and Polak (Math. Prog.,vol.~11, 1976, pp.~67--80)---is proposed for extending to general smoothconstrained optimization problems a previously proposed feasibleinterior-point ...
On Robust Eigenvalue Location.
(1989)
The concepts of guardian and semiguardian maps were recently introduced as tools for assessing robust generalized stability of parametrized families of matrices or polynomials. Necessary and sufficient conditions were ...
Two Case Studies in Optimization-Based Computer-Aided Design of Control Systems.
(1985)
There have been many approaches proposed for the computer-aided design of control systems. The co-authors of this paper include several strong proponents of a design methodology emphasizing designer's intuition, man-machine ...
Globally Convergent Algorithms for Semi-Infinite Optimization Problems Arising in Engineering Design.
(1987)
Optimization problems arising in engineering design often exhibit specific features which, in the interest of computational efficiency, ought to be exploited. Such is the possible presence of 'functional' specifications, ...
On the Computation of the Real Stability Radius
(1993)
Recently, Qiu et al. obtained a computationally attractive formula for the computation of the real stability radius. This formula involves a global maximization over frequency. Here we show that the frequency range can be ...
