Robust and H_ Control

We summarize that this book is an excellent research reference for insights and proofs pertaining to the geometric approach in
H
-infinity control. The careful and detailed exposition illustrates the far-reaching potentials of these techniques for a variety of other control problems beyond
H
-infinity theory. Throughout the book the author chooses an algorithmic style of presenting the sometimes rather intricate constructions in favor of their numerical implementation. Moreover, by splitting the subjects into suboptimality tests, computation of optimal values, controller construction, and almost disturbance decoupling, he renders all these themes accessible for independent investigation… We therefore believe that this book closes a gap in the literature by providing a thorough basis for entering the rich field of applying geometric techniques in
H
-infinity control.
