Abstract

This paper presents an approach to calculate prefilters that are insensitive to parameter deviations. The cost function chosen for this approach is the magnitude of the time-delay filter transfer function. By approximating the cost function with a polynomial, the effort of calculating minimax robust profiles can be reduced. The resulting control profiles yield a performance similar to the minimax robust controller. This is verified by the numerical results included in this paper.
