MultiObjective Robust Control
In this talk, the robust control paradigm will be introduced
where the need
for explicitly addressing uncertainty in the control design process
will be
elucidated. In this paradigm two problems, the nominal performance and
the
robust performance problem will be presented. The related
multi-objective
engineering issues that these problems address and the solution
methodology
based on an optimization framework will be outlined. Functional
analytic
tools that transform the seemingly intractable problems into solvable
problems will be developed. In conclusion, the present capabilities for
addressing engineering problems followed by the recent research trends
and
directions of this research area will be indicated.
Refreshments will be served at 2:45 p.m. in the Faculty
Lounge, Math
Annex (Room 1115).
