Abstract

In this article the robustness of tracking controllers acting on multivariable linear systems under parametric uncertainty is investigated. After a system transformation we design PID-like tracking controllers for the resulting subsystems taking nominal parameters into account. Robustness is studied under parametric uncertainty: it splits into the robust stability of an autonomous linear system and into the robust stability of the same autonomous system being perturbed by secalled “quasi-exogenous” signals. The article is concluded by a DC drive example.
