Abstract

Design optimization Equations Filtering theory Frequency Hydrogen Optimal control Poles and zeros Robust stability Search methods Transfer functions
A new method for computing G ∞ , the H ∞ norm of a given transfer function G(s) is proposed. In this paper, we use the pole-zero diagram of G(s), the root locus concept, and the jω-axis transmission zeros of γ 2 I-G T (-s)G(s) to quickly locate a narrow frequency interval which brackets the supremum of [G(jω)]. Then Brent's method (an improved parabolic interpolation search method) is employed to find the maximum of [G(jω)] over the initial frequency bracket. The proposed approach is faster than the existing frequency search and ω bisection search methods since the initial frequency interval we obtain usually is quite small and the Brent's method in general is much faster than the bisection method.
