  • Abstract
    We show how μ-synthesis can greatly improve the robustness against the inexact cancellation arising in feedback input-output linearization of nonlinear systems. A simulation of the nonlinear ball and beam tracking problem illustrates that μ-synthesis controllers can offer much better robust stability and robust performance than H controllers
