LPVTools: A Toolbox for Modeling, Analysis, and Synthesis of Parameter Varying Control Systems*

This paper describes the LPVTools software suite developed by MUSYN Inc. LPVTools is a MATLAB toolbox for simulation, analysis, and design of parameter dependent control systems using the Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) framework. LPVTools contains data structures to represent both LFT and gridded (Jacobian-linearization) types of LPV systems. In addition it contains a collection of functions and tools for model reduction, analysis, synthesis and simulation of LPV systems. Finally, the toolbox is fully documented and contains several demonstration examples. The software is freely available for use by the community.
