Linear Control Toolbox - supporting B-splines in LPV control

This paper presents the Linear Control Toolbox, a freely available Matlab-based software package primarily focused on optimal feedback controller design for LTI and LPV systems. Its main goal is to make more involved controller design methodologies accessible to the broader public by providing tailored synthesis and analysis tools. The paper gives an overview of the different modules within the toolbox, the underlying data structures and the supported functionalities and algorithms. Moreover two case studies are elaborated. The autopilot of a missile serves as a comparison of the Linear Control Toolbox with its competitors and an overhead crane setup was used to demonstrate the use and experimentally validate the presented toolbox.
