TLDR
It is proved that the μ recognition problem with either pure real or mixed real/complex uncertainty is NP-hard, which strongly suggests that it is futile to pursue exact methods for calculating μ of general systems with purereal or mixed uncertainty for other than small problems.
Abstract
The structured singular value μ measures the robustness of uncertain Systems. Numerous researchers over the last decade have worked on developing efficient methods for computing μ. This paper considers the complexity of calculating μ with general mixed real/complex uncertainty in the framework of combinatorial complexity theory. In particular, it is proved that the μ recognition problem with either pure real or mixed real/complex uncertainty is NP-hard. This strongly suggests that it is futile to pursue exact methods for calculating μ of general systems with pure real or mixed uncertainty for other than small problems.

The boundedness of all products of a pair of matrices is undecidable

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the robustness of linear systems under time-varying perturbations is undecidable, and the same is true for the stability of a simple class of hybrid systems.

A Convex Approach to Robust Stability for Linear Systems with Uncertain Scalar Parameters

TL;DR: It is shown conversely that robust stability implies solvability of these LMIs from a certain rank and beyond, and this result constitutes an extension of the characterization of Lyapunov inequality of the asymptotic stability for usual linear systems.

Randomized algorithms for probabilistic robustness with real and complex structured uncertainty

TL;DR: In the paper, randomized algorithms for stability and performance of linear time invariant uncertain systems described by a general M-/spl Delta/ configuration are studied and efficient polynomial-time algorithms for uncertainty structures /splDelta/ consisting of an arbitrary number of full complex blocks and uncertain parameters are developed.

Continuity properties of the real/complex structured singular value

TL;DR: It is shown that mu is always upper semi-continuous, and conditions are derived under which it is also lower semi- Continuing, which means the real-parameter robustness problem is reexamined.
