Software

IQC toolbox : MATLAB environment for robustness anslysis, Version 031. Installation instructions
last update : 16:00, January 09, 2007

Note: iqcb031 contains the fixes introduced by Dr. Andres Marcos to ensure compatibility with MATLAB-7.
For details, refer to the text document beta_031.txt in the package. The authors of the IQC_toolbox are very
grateful for Dr. Marcos' kind effort to introduce these fixes.

Draft of the manual of IQC toolbox : last update : August 14, 2004

Also, a conference paper which introduces the toolbox is published in CACSD 2004 (available from IEEE Xplore) :

C.-Y. Kao, A. Megretski, U. Jonsson, and A. Rantzer, “A MATLAB toolbox for robustness analysis.”
Proceedings of IEEE Conf. on Computer Aided Control System Design, p297- 302. Taipei, Taiwan, 2004.

This research was supported by NSF and AFOSR (US), 1997 to 2002.
