Abstract

In this chapter, which is also one of the main chapters of the book, we address the issue of robust stability analysis for uncertain linear dynamic systems. We first present a rigorous mathematical formulation of the problem, mainly focusing on continuous-time systems. Then, we consider various characterizations of uncertainty discussed in the previous chapter and present corresponding bounds on the perturbations for robust stability.
