* Introduction to the Control Methodology - Model Based Control
The typical methodology when applying Model Based Control to a plant is schematically shown in Figure [[fig:control-procedure]].
It consists of three steps:
1. *Identification or modeling*: $\Longrightarrow$ mathematical model
2. *Translate the specifications into mathematical criteria*:
- _Specifications_: Response Time, Noise Rejection, Maximum input amplitude, Robustness, ...
- _Mathematical Criteria_: Cost Function, Shape of TF
# - Cost Function, Needed Bandwidth, Roll-off, ...
# - $\Longrightarrow$ We will use the $\hinf$ Norm
3. *Synthesis*: research of $K$ that satisfies the specifications for the model of the system

In this document, we will mainly focus on steps 2 and 3.
* Some Background: From Classical Control to Robust Control
Classical Control (1930)
- Tools:
- TF (input-output)
- Nyquist, Bode, Black, \ldots
- P-PI-PID, Phase lead-lag, \ldots
- Advantages:
- Stability
- Performances
- Robustness
- Disadvantages:
- Manual Method
- Only SISO
Modern Control (1960)
- Tools:
- State Space
- Optimal Command
- LQR, LQG
- Advantages:
- Automatic Synthesis
- MIMO
- Optimisation problem
- Disadvantages:
- Robustness
- Rejection of Perturbations
Robust Control (1980)
- Tools:
- Disk Margin
- Systems and Signals norms ($\mathcal{H}_\infty$ and $\mathcal{H}_2$ norms)
- Closed Loop Transfer Functions
- Loop Shaping
- Advantages:
- Stability
- Performances
- Robustness
- Automatic Synthesis
- MIMO
- Optimization Problem
- Disadvantages:
- Requires the knowledge of specific tools
- Need a reasonably good model of the system
* The $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ Norm
#+begin_definition
The $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ norm is defined as the peak of the maximum singular value of the frequency response
\begin{equation}
\|G(s)\|_\infty = \max_\omega \bar{\sigma}\big( G(j\omega) \big)
\end{equation}
For a SISO system $G(s)$, it is simply the peak value of $|G(j\omega)|$ as a function of frequency:
\begin{equation}
\|G(s)\|_\infty = \max_{\omega} |G(j\omega)| \label{eq:hinf_norm_siso}
\end{equation}
#+end_definition
#+begin_exampl
Let's define a plant dynamics:
#+begin_src matlab
w0 = 2*pi; k = 1e6; xi = 0.04;
G = 1/k/(s^2/w0^2 + 2*xi*s/w0 + 1);
#+end_src
And compute its $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ norm using the =hinfnorm= function:
#+begin_src matlab :results value replace
hinfnorm(G)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 1.0013e-05
The magnitude $|G(j\omega)|$ of the plant $G(s)$ as a function of frequency is shown in Figure [[fig:hinfinity_norm_siso_bode]].
The maximum value of the magnitude over all frequencies does correspond to the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ norm of $G(s)$ as Equation eqref:eq:hinf_norm_siso implies.
#+begin_src matlab :exports none
freqs = logspace(-1, 1, 1000);
figure;
hold on;
plot(freqs, abs(squeeze(freqresp(G, freqs, 'Hz'))), 'k-');
plot([0.5, 2], [hinfnorm(G) hinfnorm(G)], 'k--');
text(2, hinfnorm(G), '$\quad \|G\|_\infty$')
hold off;
set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log');
xlabel('Frequency [Hz]'); ylabel('Magnitude $|G(j\omega)|$');
ylim([1e-8, 2e-5]);

* $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ Synthesis
*Optimization problem*:
$\hinf$ synthesis is a method that uses an *algorithm* (LMI optimization, Riccati equation) to find a controller of the same order as the system so that the $\hinf$ norms of defined transfer functions are minimized.
*Engineer work*:
1. Write the problem as standard $\hinf$ problem
2. Translate the specifications as $\hinf$ norms
3. Make the synthesis and analyze the obtain controller
4. Reduce the order of the controller for implementation
*Many ways to use the $\hinf$ Synthesis*:
- Traditional $\hinf$ Synthesis
- Mixed Sensitivity Loop Shaping
- Fixed-Structure $\hinf$ Synthesis
- Signal Based $\hinf$ Synthesis
* The Generalized Plant

* Problem Formulation
#+begin_important
The $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ Synthesis objective is to find all stabilizing controllers $K$ which minimize
\begin{equation}
\| F_l(P, K) \|_\infty = \max_{\omega} \overline{\sigma} \big( F_l(P, K)(j\omega) \big)

Let's find the Generalized plant of corresponding to the tracking control architecture shown in Figure [[fig:classical_feedback_tracking]]
#+name: fig:classical_feedback_tracking
#+caption: Classical Feedback Control Architecture (Tracking)
[[file:figs/classical_feedback_tracking.png]]
First, define the signals of the generalized plant:
- Exogenous inputs: $w = r$
- Signals to be minimized: $z_1 = \epsilon$, $z_2 = u$
- Control signals: $v = y$
- Control inputs: $u$
Then, Remove $K$ and rearrange the inputs and outputs.
We obtain the generalized plant shown in Figure [[fig:mixed_sensitivity_ref_tracking]].

Using Matlab, the generalized plant can be defined as follows:
