H-infinity Control/Evidence
Method evidence record

H-infinity Control

H-infinity (H∞) control is a robust control method that minimizes the worst-case gain from disturbances to controlled outputs, formulated as a minimax optimization problem. Pioneered by Zames in the early 1980s, H∞ control provides a principled way to design feedback controllers that tolerate model uncertainty, unmodeled dynamics, and disturbances while maintaining stability and performance, making it essential for applications requiring guaranteed robustness.
