1) The lateral motion of a ship moving with constant velocity is given by
ψ(s )
i. Find the transfer function from the rudder to the heading angle G( s ) =
δ( s )
ii. Assume that there is 60% uncertainty on the coefficients of the s term of the
numerator and s3 term of the denominator. Find a weighting function W such
that the “multiplicative uncertainty” represents the effect of the parametric
uncertainties on these coefficients as closely as possible.
2) Derive the “Robust Stability” condition for “additive uncertainty” representation.
