Genetic algorithms are also proposed as the search algorithm for determining the smallest destabilizing perturbations in the form of MIMO gain and phase margins. This technique is computationally more burdensome than the calculus-based technique. However, it can deal with digital control systems, which include time delays, in the exact manner. %T MIMO robustness analysis of digital control systems using genetic algorithms %B IET Conference Proceedings %D January 1998 %P 263-268 %I Institution of Engineering and Technology %U https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=35c14lpldu6d9.x-iet-live-01content/conferences/10.1049/cp_19980238 %G EN
