The robustness of uncertain linear singular systems is investigated in this dissertation. It is known that when the robust stability problem is investigated, the regularity and impulse-immunity must be considered simultaneously. The latter two problems do not arise in standard state-space systems. Therefore, the robustness problem of linear singular systems is more complicated than that in standard state-space systems. Based on LFT descriptions used to characterize the various kinds of uncertain linear singular systems, the guardian map and the structured singular value are also involved to deal with the robustness analysis for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Some methodical approaches are provided to derive the maximal bounds of parametric uncertainties or the sufficient and necessary conditions in which the properties of regularity, impulse-immunity and stability are robustly preserved for various kinds of uncertain linear singular systems. In addition, the D-stability robustness problem is also investigated to guarantee stability and required performance of the systems. The LFT approach provides a unified framework for both continuous-time and discrete-time uncertain linear singular systems. Several illustrative examples are given to show the feasibility of the proposed approaches.
