Extended stability conditions for CDM controller design. In 11th Portuguese Conference on Automatic Control – CONTROLO 2014. Porto, Portugalhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/10847The coefficient diagram method (CDM) is one of the easiest methods for model based control system design. Its core is based on an algebraic method but it also encompasses a graphical analysis diagram that helps the user to evaluate the three main closed-loop system requirements: dynamic behaviour, robustness and stability. This later characteristic is analysed by a set of stability conditions derived from the previous work of Lipatov and Sokolov on sufficient conditions for stability. However, in CDM, only a fraction of the total conditions are considered. This work will show that this fact increases the inconclusive area within the stability space. Moreover an extended set of CDM stability conditions, in conjunction with its graphical interpretation, will be presentedporconference object10.1007/978-3-319-10380-8_17
