Abstract

This paper considers 2D uncertain systems with homogeneous or mixed dynamics, and addresses three problems: establishing robust structural stability, computing robust structural stability margins, and determining the maximum uncertainty amplification that preserves robust structural stability. Two sufficient linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are proposed for establishing robust structural stability obtained by introducing an equivalent closed-loop complex system and by searching for real or complex structured Lyapunov functions and matrix annihilators parameterized by the uncertainties and auxiliary quantities. Moreover, it is shown that lower bounds of the introduced robust structural stability margins and maximum uncertainty amplification can be obtained by solving quasi-convex optimization problems under some restrictions on the sought Lyapunov functions or on the set of uncertainties. Lastly, the nonconservatism of the proposed results is analyzed, showing that the proposed LMI condition based on the use of complex Lyapunov functions is not only sufficient but also necessary under some assumptions.
