Abstract

We describe a fast algorithm to compute the real structured stability radius with respect to the open left-half plane or the open unit disk. It is based on a recent formula proved by Qiu et al. (Automatica, vol. 31, pp. 879–890, 1995) and the well-known correspondence between the singular values of a transfer function matrix and the imaginary eigenvalues of a related Hamiltonian matrix. Numerical tests suggest that its local convergence is quadratic.

This paper presents research results of the Belgian Programme on Inter-university Poles of Attraction, initiated by the Belgian State, Prime Minister’s Office for Science, Technology and Culture. The scientific responsibility rests with its authors.
