“…The toolbox designs fixed-order controllers by optimizing stability measures that generally exhibit a high degree of nonsmoothness at minimizers (a property that we discuss and illustrate in §4). The hifoo toolbox has been used successfully in a wide variety of applications, including synchronization of heterogeneous multi-agent systems and networks [KA14b,KA14a], design of motorized gimbals that stabilize an angular motion of an optical payload around an axis [RH13], flight control via static-output-feedback control [YS12], robust observer-based fault detection and iso-lation [WKA12], influence of tire damping on control of quarter-car suspensions [AT11], flexible aircraft lateral flight dynamic control [HH11a,HH11b,HH11c], optimal control of aircraft with a blended wing body [HKH11], vibration control of a fluid/plate system [RBB + 10], controller design of a nose landing gear steering system [PLB10], bilateral teleoperation for minimally invasive surgery [Del09], design of an aircraft controller for improved gust alleviation and passenger comfort [WMH + 09], robust controller design for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system [WC09], design of power systems controllers [DeSD09], and design of winding systems for elastic web materials [KHMV07].…”
