Comparing digital implementation via the bilinear and step-invariant transformations
From an analog system K, digital systems Kd and Kbt are often obtained via the step-invariant and bilinear transformations, respectively. For the case when K is stable, it is show...

A convex optimization approach to the mode acceleration problem
The purpose of this note is to introduce an alternative procedure to the mode acceleration method when the underlying structure model includes damping. We will show that the probl...

Ellipsoidal bounds for uncertain linear equations and dynamical systems
In this paper, we discuss semidefinite relaxation techniques for computing minimal size ellipsoids that bound the solution set of a system of uncertain linear equations. The propo...
