On Markov's theorem: it's like Kharitonov's but twice as nice

Abstract

The authors discuss Markov's stability result and examine its implications in light of Kharitonov's stability theorem. In particular they determine the largest stability box in the space of Markov parameters and compare it with its Kharitonov counterpart in polynomial-coefficient space. An effort is made to motivate applications of Markov's theorem in the robustness area.<>
