A series of multiobjective H ¥ design problems are considered in this paper. The problems are formulated as a number of coupled H ¥ design problems. These H ¥ problems can be formulated as sensitivity problems, complementary sensitivity problems or control sensitivity problems for every output (or input) in the system. It turns out that these multiobjective H ¥ design problems, based on a number of di erent types of sensitivity problem, can be exactly decoupled into k H ¥ sensitivity problems for stable systems, where k is the number of outputs (for unstable systems, independent stabilization is required). Further, it is shown how similar techniques can be used to incorporate simultaneous speci® cations for di erent control objectives such as H 2, l 1 etc., for the sensitivities. The approach is illustrated by an experimental setup for a steel mill test rig.
