%0 Journal Article %T Stabilizing Gain Selection of Networked Variable Gain Controller to Maximize Robustness Using Particle Swarm Optimization %A Indranil Pan %A Saptarshi Das %A Soumyajit Ghosh %A Amitava Gupta %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1109/PACC.2011.5978958 %X Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are often associated with problems like random data losses which might lead to system instability. This paper proposes a method based on the use of variable controller gains to achieve maximum parametric robustness of the plant controlled over a network. Stability using variable controller gains under data loss conditions is analyzed using a suitable Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) formulation. Also, a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based technique is used to maximize parametric robustness of the plant. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.5688v1
