A cutting plane algorithm for robustness analysis of periodically time-varying systems
An algorithm for robustness analysis of periodic systems is derived. The system under consideration consists of a linear periodically time-varying plant in feedback interconnection with a structured uncertainty, Conditions for robust stability and robust performance can be formulated in terms of periodic integral quadratic constraints (IQCs), in this way, the robustness analysis becomes a problem of optimizing the parameters of the IQC. A cutting plane algorithm is suggested for solving this infinite-dimensional optimization problem.
