Abstract

This entry provides a brief summary of the synthesis and analysis tools that have been developed by the robust control community. Many software tools have been developed to implement the major theoretical techniques in robust control. These software tools have enabled robust synthesis and analysis techniques to be successfully applied to numerous industrial applications.
