Interval models are frequently used for dealing with uncertainties of control systems. However, it is well known that direct analysis and synthesis of a controlled dynamic system with interval matrix uncertainties may be a NP-hard problem. In this work, an efficient methodology for robustness analysis and robust control design of dynamic systems with interval matrix uncertainties is presented systematically, in which the uncertainties appearing in the controlled plant and controller realisation are taken into account simultaneously in an integrated framework. The fundamental problems, such as quadratic stability, guaranteed cost control and H control of uncertain systems are taken as examples to show the methodology. Necessary and sufficient conditions for linear dynamic systems with interval matrices are derived by transforming all the interval matrices into some more tractable forms. The whole reasoning process is logical and rigorous, and NP-hard problem is successfully avoided. The presented formulations are within the framework of linear matrix inequality and can be implemented conveniently. In contrast to existing vertex-set methods, in which the vertices of interval matrices need to be constructed and checked, the presented methods are more efficient. Three numerical examples are investigated to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the presented method.
