Energy saving is one of the most important factors for profits in marine transportation. In order to reduce the specific fuel oil consumption, the ship's propulsion efficiency must be increased as much as possible. The propulsion efficiency depends upon a combination of propulsion engine and propeller that has better efficiency as lower rotational speed. As the engine has lower speed the variation of rotational torque become larger because of the longer delay time in fuel oil injection process. In this study, robust control theory is applied to the design of engine speed controllers which are sub-optimal $H_{\infty}$ controller, $H_{\infty}$ loop-shaping controller and ${\mu}$-synthesis controller considering robust stability and robust performance. And the validity of these three controllers is investigated through the results of computer simulation.

In this paper we design the optimal satellite-tracking antenna $H{\infty}$ control system using genetic algorithms. To do this, we give gain and dynamics parameters to the weighting functions and apply genetic algorithms with reference model to the optimal determination of weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ that are given by Glover-Doyle algorithm which can design $H{\infty}$ controller in the state space. These weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ are optimized simultaneously in the search domain guaranteeing the robust stability of closed-loop system. The effectiveness of this satellite-tracking antenna $H{\infty}$ control system is verified by computer simulation.

This thesis proposes a robust controller introducing the H$_{\infty}$ control theory, one of the robust control theories that can obtain desired control performance while ensuring robustness for the uncertainty and disturbance contained in the power system. The performance of the designed controller is examined by extensive non-linear time domain simulation. Results show that the proposed H$_{\infty}$ controller is superior to that of the conventional controller.

This Paper describes a systematic method for designing the $H_{\infty}$ controller for the inverted pendulum which is a nonlinear and single-input double-outputs system. In particular, the open-loop system is conbined with a pre-filter to shape the open-loop transfer function for the sensitivity function ind the complementary sensitivity function to be kept the desirable frequency characteristics. Consequently, the loop shaping technique of the open-loop transfer function reduces the impacts of the model uncertainties, measurement noises and exogenous disterbances on the dynamic characteristics of the inverted pendulum. The results of simulation and experiment show the efficiency of the proposed control method comparing with conventional PID control method.

This paper deals with the design of feedback controllers which minimize the $H^{\infty}$-norm of the weighted sensitivity function. Using the Lagrange multiplier method and the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation theory, an algorithm which stabilizes a plant and makes the output to track the reference signal is proposed..

We propose a decentralized state estimation method in the multisensor state estimation problem. The proposed method bounds teh maximum energy gain from uknown external disturbances to the estimation errors in the suboptimal case. And we formulate aternative H/sip .inf./ filter gain equatiions with teh idea that the suboptimal H.$^{\infty}$ filter is the special form of Kalman filter filter whose state equations are defined in indefinite inner product spaces. Using alternative filter gain equations we design the decentralized $H^{\infty}$ state estimator which is composed of local filters and central fusion filter that are suboptimal in the $H^{\infty}$ sense. In addition, the proposed update equations between global and local data can reduce unnecessary calculation burden efficently.y.

This paper deals with the H$_{\infty}$ control problems for discrete-time linear systems with time-varying delays in states. The existence condition and the design method of the H$_{\infty}$ state feedback controller are given. In this paper, the H$_{\infty}$ control law is assumed to be a memoryless state feedback, and the upper-bound of time-varying delay and S-procedure are used. Through some changes of variables and Schur complement, the obtained sufficient condition can be rewritten as an LMI(linear matrix inequality) form in terms of all variables.

To improve control performance, especially positioning speed, of a pneumatic positioning system, dynamic characteristics of a control valve should be considered. In case we design controller including dynamic characteristics of a control valve, it's not easy to design controller gain using simple state feedback because degree of a control system is increased. This study designed controller using loop shaping of $H_{\infty}$ control theory for a model composed of a pneumatic actuator and a control valve, and positioning experiment using this controller was performed. As a result, it was verified that the controller is useful for high speed positioning of a pneumatic positioning system.

This paper presents a robust force tracking control of a small-sized SMA gripper with two fingers using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. The mathematical governing equation of the proposed system is derived by Hamilton's principle and Lagrangian equation and then, the control system model is integrated with the first-order actuator dynamics. Uncertain system parameters such as time constant of the actuators are also included in the control model. A robust two degree of freedom(TDF) controller using H$_{\infty}$ control theory, which has inherent robustness to model uncertainties and external disturbances, is adopted to achieve end-point force tracking control of the two-finger gripper. Force tracking control performances for desired trajectories represented by sinusoidal and step functions are evaluated by undertaking both simulation and experimental works.

In this paper we proposed the digital implementation of an $H^{\infty}$-optimal controller using lifting technique and $H^{\infty}$-control theory. The discrete controller is obtained through iterative adjustment of sampling time and weighting function, which can ber performed by computing the L$_{2}$-induced input to output norm of the sampled-data system with bandlimited exogenous input. The resulting sampled-data bandlimited exogenous input. The resulting sampled-data system is stable and the performance including inter-sampling behaviour of the hybrid system can be also optimized.d.
