# Table of Contents for 3 Notes ## Files - [[Feedback Control Theory.md]] - [[How is robust control validation done?.md]] - [[Robust Control.md]] - [[What is gain scheduling?.md]] ## Summary This is a comprehensive set of notes on Feedback Control Theory, covering various topics such as sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions, robustness and stability, and uncertainty and perturbation. Here's a brief summary of the key points: **Sensitivity and Complementary Sensitivity Functions** * The sensitivity function S is defined as 1/(1+L), where L is the loop gain. * The complementary sensitivity function T is defined as L/(1+L). * These functions are used to analyze the performance of a feedback system. **Robustness and Stability** * A controller C is robust to a set of plants $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to a characteristic if this characteristic holds for every plant in $\mathcal{P}$. * A system is robustly stable if it is internally stable for every plant in the set $\mathcal{P}$: $|| \Delta W_2 T ||_\infty < 1$. * Nominal performance is achieved simultaneously when $|| \text{max} (|W_1S|, |W_2 T|)||_\infty < 1$. **Uncertainty and Perturbation** * The multiplicative disk perturbation is defined as $\tilde P = (1+\Delta W_2)P$, where P is a nominal plant transfer function. * $||\Delta||_\infty <1$ ensures that the system remains stable for all plants in the set $\mathcal{P}$. **Key Concepts** * Robustness: the distance between L and -1 for all frequencies, which determines how much room there is for plant perturbation before becoming unstable. * Uncertainty profile: $|W_2(j\omega)|$ describes a disk in the complex plane that indicates the maximum amount of uncertainty allowed. Overall, these notes provide a solid foundation for understanding the concepts and techniques used in feedback control theory, particularly in the context of robustness and stability analysis.
