In this article we provide a solution to the mixed H 2 =H 1 problem with reduced order controllers for time-varying systems in terms of the solvability of diierential linear matrix inequalities and rank conditions, including a detailed discussion of how to construct a controller. Immediate specializations lead to a solution of the full order problem and the mixed H 2 =H 1 problem for linear sys...

In this paper, a nonlinear model of the underactuated six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) quadrotor helicopter was derived based on the Newton-Euler formalism. A new nonlinear robust control strategy was proposed to solve the stabilizing and path following problems in presence of external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. The proposed control structure consist of a sliding mode control base...

this paper presents h∞ control problem for input-delayed systems. a neutral system approach is considered to the design of pd controller for input delay systems in presence of uncertain time-invariant delay. using this approach, the resulting closed-loop system turns into a specific time-delay system of neutral type. the significant specification of this neutral system is that its delayed coeff...

Of all the attorneys and judges who participated in the long and tortured litigation over the status of Dred Scott and his family, the performance of Justice Benjamin Robbins Curtis is the most lavishly praised by most modern commentators. In part, this high esteem reflects a strong commitment to the substantive view that Congress had the power to prohibit slavery in the territories. But, unlik...
