Robust ℋ 2 Performance in Feedback Control

  • Living reference work entry
  • First Online:

Abstract

This entry discusses an important compromise in feedback design: reconciling the superior performance characteristics of the \(\mathcal{H}_{2}\) optimization criterion, with robustness requirements expressed through induced norms such as \(\mathcal{H}_{\infty }\). The fact that both criteria have frequency-domain characterizations and involve similar state-space machinery motivated many researchers to seek an adequate combination. We review here robust \(\mathcal{H}_{2}\) analysis methods based on convex optimization developed in the 1990s and comment on their implications for controller synthesis.
