Software release planning:

As the planning has never been respected, the dates are now removed. The planning indicates the future expected steps that may be modified depending on theoretical results and user reactions. Do not hesitate to react.

Version 1 - started in june 2005

This package includes uncertain modeling facilities and associated robust analysis methods. The considered models are

affine polytopic (including parallelotopic and interval systems)
and LFTs (the uncertainty is modeled as a feedback on some nominal system). In this case the uncertain operator can be

{X,Y,Z}-dissipative (this formulation includes the norm-bounded and positive real cases)
polytopic (including special features for parallelotopic and interval formulations)
or any block-diagonal structure of such operators.

The analysis tools are Lyapunov based. They go beyond the quadratic stability framework and include several PDLF-based (parameter-dependent Lyapunov function) methods. Robustness is analyzed with respect to

stability (for continuous or discrete-time systems)
as well as to pole location, H infinity, H2 and impulse-to-peak performances.

The numerical framework is semi-definite programming (SDP). Thanks to the YALMIP parser all available SDP solvers can be used.

Version 2 - started in february 2007 - last update in february 2012

The second version of the package follows evolutions of analysis results and includes new, less conservative or numerically more efficient methods. Today it includes design facilities for robust multi-objective state-feedback. Coding LMI results for full order output-feedback design is planned.

Version 3

In addition to evolutions of the V1 and V2 functionalities, the third version would include heuristic tools for solving

static output-feedback design problems.

Version ROMUALD : the descriptor system version

A new version of RoMulOC is currently developped. It extends all previously coded analysis results to descriptor systems. The name of the toolbox is changed to have a clear distinction. ROMUALD is RObust MUltiperformance Analysis of Linear Descriptor systems. Among its features is that it allows to generate sequences of LMIs with decreasing conservatism. It improves analysis results of RoMulOC even for non-descriptor systems. ROMUALD is currently being tested on industrial examples.
