A Globally Optimal Minimax Solution for Spectral Overbounding and Factorization
In this paper, an algorithm is introduced to find a minimum phase transfer function of specified order whose magnitude "tightly" overbounds a specified real-valued nonparametric function of frequency. This method has direct application to transforming nonparametric uncertainty bounds (available from system identification experiments and/or plant modeling) into parametric representations required for modern robust control design software (i.e., a minimum-phase transfer function multiplied by a norm-bounded perturbation).
