This program exploits recent advances in PCand DSP-based real-time control hardware/software and the commercial availability of numerous educational control experimental setups. In particular, we describe the current status of the laboratory development effort and future plans.

A Lagrangian derivation of the MSFF model is considered to produce position dynamics for follower spacecraft #n relative to follower spacecraft #(nl), assuming that the leader spacecraft in the formation follows a no-thrust, natural, elliptical orbit. Next, a control law is designed to provide a filtered velocity measurement and a desired adaptive compensation with semi-global, asymptotic, relative position tracking. The proposed control law is simulated for the case of two and three spacecraft and is shown to yield semi-global, asymptotic tracking of the relative position errors.

Specifically, by merging the results of [1] and [9]-[11], controller synthesis design equations are presented that guarantee robust stability and robust mixed H2/H1 performance over a specified range of constant real parameter uncertainty.

A stabilisation technique for uncertain discrete-time periodic systems is developed which guarantees robust stability and performance in the face of system parametric uncertainty.

In this paper we formulate the problem of active control of combustion instabilities in a form that lends itself to the application of robust feedback control design. Using the uncertain state-space system model, the parameterdependent Lyapunov function framework for robust fixed-order controller design developed by Haddad and Bernstein is used to design high performance reducedorder robust controllers for suppressing thermoacoustic oscillations in combustion chambers.

Specifically, a fixed-order (i.e., full- and reduced-order) dynamic compensation problem is addressed for systems with simultaneous state, input, and output delays. The principal result involves sufficient conditions for characterizing fixed-order dynamic controllers for delay systems via a system of modified coupled Riccati equations. The controllers obtained are delay independent and hence apply to systems with arbitrary unknown delay
