Sensitivity reduction by stable controllers for mIMO infinite dimensional systems via the tangential nevanlinna-Pick interpolation

Abstract

We study the problem of finding a stable stabilizing controller that satisfies a desired sensitivity level for an MIMO infinite dimensional system. The systems we consider have finitely many simple transmission zeros in C +, but they are allowed to possess infinitely many poles in C +. We compute both upper and lower bounds of the minimum sensitivity achievable by a stable controller via the tangential Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation. We also obtain stable controllers attaining such an upper bound. To illustrate the results, we discuss a repetitive control system as an application of the proposed method.
