The aim of this paper is to derive a new robust stability margin. Known sufficient conditions for robust stability stated in gap-metric sense contain inherent conservativeness in the formulation of the various steps. In this paper conservativeness in one of the steps is removed, resulting in a new robustness margin. The key issue is that more information of the specific controller is taken into...

Closed-loop stabilization with guaranteed stability margin using Proportional+Integral+Derivative (PID) controllers is investigated for a class of linear multi-input multioutput plants. A sufficient condition for existence of such PID-controllers is derived. A systematic synthesis procedure to obtain such PID-controllers is presented with numerical examples. Keywords– Simultaneous stabilization...
