In this report we discuss the design of cross-directional controllers which are guaranteed to be robustly stabilizing while incorporating a quadratic programme for steady state performance. The report is loosely based on the technical report of Akkermans (2003) who proposes using the multivariable circle criterion to guarantee closed-loop stability of cross-directional controllers in the presen...
