Abstract

 

Searches of a suitable Zames-Falb multiplier for a given system have attracted much attention over the last decade. However, there is a lack of conditions to ensure that there is no suitable Zames-Falb multipliers for a given system. This talk will discuss on phase limitations of Zames-Falb multipliers, we present tools that allows us to discard the existence of a suitable Zames-Falb multiplier for a given plant. We will show continuous-time and discrete-time examples where these constraints are active, and provide insights about the different behaviour between continuous-time and discrete-time properties. Interestingly, these examples are (or seem to be) counterexamples of the Kalman conjecture. We pose a new conjecture that bridges the existence of a Zames-Falb multiplier with the Kalman conjecture.
