“…The matrices , , , , , and define the nominal model and , , , , , and represent admissible uncertainties which are assumed to be of the form (3) In this last equation, , , , , and are known constant matrices of compatible dimensions, and is an unknown matrix with constant entries which satisfies (4) To complete the process description, it is necessary to specify the boundary conditions, i.e., the state initial vector on each pass and the initial pass profile (i.e., on pass 0). The simplest possible choice for these is (5) where the vector has known constant entries and is the vector whose entries are known functions of over .…”
