Abstract

This paper considers the robust stability of a linear time-invariant state space model subject to real parameter perturbations. The problem is to find the distance of a given stable matrix from the set of unstable matrices. A new method, based on the properties of the Kronecker sum and two other composite matrices, is developed to study this problem; this new method makes it possible to distinguish real perturbations from complex ones. Although a procedure to find the exact value of the distance is still not available, some explicit lower bounds on the distance are obtained. The bounds are applicable only for the case of real plant perturbations, and are easy to compute numerically; if the matrix is large in size, an iterative procedure is given to compute the bounds. Various examples including a 46th-order spacecraft system are given to illustrate the results obtained. The examples show that the new bounds obtained can have an arbitrary degree of improvement over previously reported ones.
