Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structural bases for the solution of sensitivity problems. The dynamic capabilities of an automatic control system, such as of any dynamic system, are determined first of all by its structure, by the character of the elementary dynamic components into which the system can be divided, and by their mutual interconnections. The problem of sensitivity, or more precisely of insensitivity, is a structural problem. The sensitivity of the dynamic characteristics of a given system with respect to parameter changes may be defined in different ways. An active approach to the problem of sensitivity consists in providing the system with such structural properties that its dynamic behavior becomes little sensitive to the variation of some of its parameters. The problem, then, can be formulated by finding a class of structures and the rules for its synthesis such that the variation of certain parameters will have no influence, or sufficiently small influence on its dynamic properties.
