Reconciling nu-Gap Metric and IQC Based Robust Stability Analysis

Khong, Sei Zhen LU and Cantoni, Michael (2013) In IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control 58(8).
Abstract
This technical note elaborates on the flexibility of an approach that combines nu-gap metric and integral quadratic constraint (IQC) based analysis in the study of uncertain feedback interconnections of distributed-parameter transfer functions. It is established that a standard ν-gap ball robust stability result can be recovered within the blended IQC/nu-gap framework, which only requires the existence of ν-gap continuous paths within the uncertainty set of interest. This is achieved, in part, by showing that sufficiently small ν-gap balls are pathwise connected in the graph topology. A linear fractional characterisation of the ν-gap is a key ingredient. This characterisation is underpinned by a certain J-spectral factorisation, also shown... (More)
