The primary objective of this thesis is to leverage on the framework of H∞ loop-shaping control to formulate efficient and powerful optimization algorithms in LMI framework for the synthesis of performance loop-shaping weights. The H∞ loop-shaping design procedure is an efficien…

All living things are remarkably complex, yet their DNA is unstable, undergoing countless random mutations over generations. Despite this instability, most animals do not grow two heads or die, plants continue to thrive, and bacteria continue to divide. Robustness and Evolvabili…
