Minimum phase robustness for uncertain state-space systems

The minimum phase robustness of an uncertain state-space system with affine parametric uncertainties in the state-space matrices is studied. A tolerable margin in terms of the structured singular value is given for uncertain parameters to guarantee the minimum phase property of the system. Based on the linear fractional transformation methodology, the matrix sizes involved in the computation of structured singular value are reduced significantly to improve computational burden. The approach can be applied to the proper or strictly proper linear uncertain systems.
