            Abstract : 
This paper presents an investigation of robust gain-scheduled control of a lightly damped, second order linear plant with a time-varying mass. The time-varying controller obtained by gain-scheduled D-K iteration schedules not only its gain, but also the resonant notch corresponding to the variation of the plant resonant peak. Some issues on this design method are also discussed
