Abstract

Practical implementation of a controller for an infinite-dimensional system generally requires that the controller be finite-dimensional. A design method is presented here that provides a link between infinite-dimensional system theory and finite-dimensional linear robust control system design tools that have been developed and refined over the last decade.
