Mu-synthesis with dynamic D-Scalings using Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract : This paper proposes to revisit the μ-synthesis problem with a recent and efficient meta-heuristic called Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO). This algorithm allows optimizing dynamic (or static) D-scalings without fitting them, which leads to robust performance controllers. This method has been applied successfully to a classical flexible plant control problem with a reasonable computation time.
