Multi-objective controller design and tuning

[With graduate student John Hu , co-supervised with P.D. Loewen. Supported by NSERC ].

The goal of this project is to develop algorithms for controller design and tuning when several objectives or constraints have to be satisfied.
Multiple-objective linear-quadratic and H-infinity problems are being investigated. Necessary conditions have been obtained using non-smooth analysis [Hu et al '96] and controllers have been designed using convex analysis [Hu et al '96] and special forms of the Q-parametrization [Hu et al '95].
