Fixed-Structure Mu-Synthesis

This work proposes to shed a new light on the Mu-synthesis problem using the differential evolution algorithm. This algorithm allows optimizing simultaneously the structured controller and the dynamic (or static) D-scalings, which leads to robust performance controllers. This method has been applied successfully to a classical flexible plant control problem. After a comparison between the evolutionary approach and the non-smooth optimization one has envisaged proving the high potential of the proposed method.
