Abstract
This paper presents a nonsmooth optimization technique for solving a special mu-synthesis control problem. Attention is focused on controller synthesis problems that involve real diagonal scalings. An academic example illustrates the synthesis algorithm and a comparison is made with the well-known DK-iteration algorithm. This paper shows that nonsmooth optimization synthesis can provide better solutions than the standard DK-iteration algorithm.
