Quantifying Uncertainty and Robust Performance Using the nu-Gap Metric

M. Cantoni and G. Vinnicombe

Abstract

The nu-gap metric is reviewed as a useful tool for quantifying uncertainty and robust performance within the framework of H-infinity loop-shaping. This metric has a natural frequency-domain interpretation which, combined with particularly sharp robustness results, facilitates the design of weights that appropriately reflect robustness requirements within the H-infinity loop-shaping framework.
