Sommario
This talk investigates the instability measure of linear systems defined as the sum of the unstable eigenvalues in the continuous-time case and the product of the unstable eigenvalues in the discrete-time case, which represents a key index in control with communications constraints. The problem consists of determining the largest instability measure in systems depending polynomially on parameters constrained in a semi-algebraic set. It is shown that upper bounds of the sought measure can be established via linear matrix inequality feasibility tests. Moreover, a priori and a posteriori conditions for establishing non-conservatism are proposed. Finally, two special cases of the proposed methodology are investigated: the first one concerns systems with a single parameter, and the second one concerns the determination of the largest spectral abscissa and radius.
