Abstract
The effects of system parameter uncertainties on system performance are always of great concern to the system designer. It is desirable to knowa priori estimates of the system response, subject to parameter uncertainties. In the following we propose using interval analysis techniques to establish estimates of system performance (e.g., envelopes of time response and frequency response). The results which we obtain constitute generalizations of existing work. Specifically, existing results address systems which are described by linear ordinary differential equations which are endowed with a single parameter belonging to an interval. In the present results we address systems described by linear or nonlinear ordinary difference equations endowed with more than one parameter belonging to intervals.
