Overview on m Synthesis
qConsider a general feedback system with interconnection G. Find a stabilizing controller K so that the following m-norm is minimized:
q
q
q This problem is called m-synthesis.
qThe m-synthesis is not yet fully solved. But a reasonable approach is to “solve”
•
• by iteratively solving for K and D, i.e., first minimizing over K with D fixed, then minimizing point-wise over D with K fixed, then again over K, and again over D, etc. This is the so-called D-K Iteration.
