Sensitivity Function Trade-offs for Networks with a String Topology
Richard Pates, Kaoru Yamamoto
We present two sensitivity function trade-offs that apply to a class of networks with a string topology. In particular we show that a lower bound on the H-infinity norm and a Bode…

Scale Free Bounds on the Amplification of Disturbances in Mass Chains
Richard Pates, Kaoru Yamamoto
We give a method for designing a mechanical impedance to suppress the propagation of disturbances along a chain of masses. The key feature of our method is that it is scale free. T…
