Numerical Computation of Lower Bounds of Structured Singular Values

Abstract

In this article we consider the numerical approximation of lower bounds of Structured Singular Values, SSV. The SSV is a wellknown mathematical quantity which is widely used to analyse and syntesize the robust stability and instability analysis of linear feedback systems in control theory. It links a bridge between numerical linear algebra and system theory. The computation of lower bounds of SSV by means of ordinary differential equations based technique is presented. The obtained numerical results for the lower bounds of SSV are compared with the well-known MATLAB function mussv available in MATLAB control toolbox.
