dkitgui

A graphical user interface for µ synthesis via D-K iteration

Syntax

dkitgui

Description
dkitgui is a graphical user interface (GUI) for D-K iteration. The D-K iteration procedure is an approximation to µ synthesis control design. It involves a sequence of minimizations, first over the controller variable K (holding the D variable associated with the scaled µ upper bound fixed), and then over the D variable (holding the controller K variable fixed). The D-K iteration procedure is not guaranteed to converge to the minimum µ value, but often works well in practice. A more detailed description of the D-K iteration can be found in Chapter 5.

• Main Iteration window, which is the main interface for the user during the iteration.
• Setup window, where initial data is entered.
• Parameter window, which is occasionally used to modify properties of the D-K iteration, such as H parameters, and to select the variables that are automatically exported to the workspace each iteration.
• Frequency Response window, where the plots of µ and of the closed-loop transfer function matrix are displayed.
• Scaling window, where the rational fits of the frequency-dependent D-scale data are shown, and can be modified.

Examples
An example of using dkitgui for D-K iteration is provided in the "HIMAT Robust Performance Design Example" section in Chapter 7.
