Distance Measures for Uncertain Linear Systems: A General Theory
This paper provides a general unifying theory for measuring distance between dynamical systems. The work was applied to a flexible booster rocket modelled at Honeywell Aerospace Laboratories, Minneapolis, USA (contact details available) showing that the resulting controller achieved higher levels of robustness. An American Control Conference workshop (http://www.a2c2.org/conferences/acc2006/workshops.htm#1C) was organised by Honeywell Laboratories that showcased design methodologies exploiting results in this paper. Honeywell has also adopted parts of the metric measures for model validation purposes on their systems, and for health monitoring onboard aircraft that contain Honeywell autopilots (contact details available).
