About this paper

Grace Younes, Alban Quadrat, Fabrice Rouillier

The paper by Younes, Quadrat, and Rouillier systematically analyzes symbolic computation methods for calculating the L∞-norm of linear time-invariant systems. It demonstrates how these methods provide exact solutions and certified accuracy, offering an alternative to numerical approaches, particularly for parameterized and ill-conditioned problems.

Key insights

  • Symbolic methods provide certified accuracy and exact solutions, addressing limitations of numerical methods like floating-point precision, convergence issues, and sensitivity to initial conditions.
  • Symbolic computation uniquely excels in analyzing parameterized systems by simultaneously exploring the entire parameter space, which is challenging for numerical approaches.
  • Despite higher computational complexity, symbolic methods offer guaranteed termination and are particularly advantageous for high-precision requirements or ill-conditioned problems where numerical methods struggle.
