Abstract
We consider general families of linear time-invariant plants described by a nominal plant model with additive or multiplicative unstructured modeling uncertainty. We show that such families of plants are robustly (uniformly) stabilizable by nonlinear time-varying controllers, if and only if they are robustly stabilizable by linear time-invariant ones. Some auxiliary results on Hankel and L∞-norm approximation are also obtained.
