Abstract
A methodology is presented for the replacement of original worst case control system design specifications, which correspond to a set of intractable, semi-infinite inequalities, with a more conservative set of specifications which transcribe into tractable semi-infinite inequalities. These inequalities can either be solved directly or they can be incorporated into an optimal design semi-infinite optimization problem.
