Stable and robust controller synthesis for unstable time delay systems via ınterpolation and approximation

In this paper, we study the robust stabilization of a class of single input single output (SISO) unstable time delay systems by stable and finite dimensional controllers through finite dimensional approximation of infinite dimensional parts of the plant. The plant of interest is assumed to have finitely many non-minimum phase zeros but is allowed to have infinitely many unstable poles in the open right half plane. Conservatism of the proposed methods is illustrated by numerical examples for which infinite dimensional strongly stabilizing controllers are derived in the literature.
