Robust Control of Linear Parametrically Varying Systems with Bounded Rates

An approach to the control of linear parametrically varying systems that takes the rate of parameter variations intoaccountandalsoguaranteesrobustnessagainstparametricanddynamicuncertaintiesisdiscussed.Toillustrate the technique we consider a missile control problem that has been extensively studied in the literature. Nonlinear simulations show that the proposed method is successful in achieving desired performance and robustness goals.
