Book cover Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control

Abstract

This introductory chapter briefly reviews the evolution of optimal control design. First, it considers the classical control principles of optimal design for ideal completely known systems. Then, the case of incomplete information is studied. The ideas of robust control design and related optimization issues are discussed. The general principles of ellipsoid-based control design are introduced.
