“…Finally, in view of the product between and c in (10), the (A, B) matrices in (8) will belong to a polytope with N 2 vertices, which are associated to the cross-products between the vertices i , i = 1, 2, …, N, and c, j , j = 1, 2, …, N. An alternative uncertainty description for matrix could also be derived by taking into account higher order terms in the power series expansion of e c T , as proposed in Braga, Morais, Tognetti, Oliveira, and Peres (2013). However, the approach described herein leads to simpler design procedures and can be appropriate to meet closed loop specifications, as will be illustrated in Section 4.3.…”
