Abstract

The author investigates performance limitations imposed by non-minimum phase characteristics of a nonlinear time-varying plant. A performance criterion is defined which, in the linear case, is analogous to minimizing the sensitivity over a given frequency band. It is shown that if the nonlinear plant is non-minimum phase, then the frequency-weighted sensitivity cannot be made arbitrarily small while keeping the overall sensitivity bounded. The non-minimum phasedness of the plant is stated in terms of deficiency in its range. These results extend the familiar push/pop phenomenon in sensitivity optimization to a nonlinear time-varying setting.
