Abstract
This paper surveys various linear matrix inequality relaxation techniques f or evaluating the maximum norm vector within the intersection of several el lipsoids. This difficult nonconvex optimization problem arises frequently i n robust control synthesis. Two randomized algorithms and several ellipsoid al approximations are described. Guaranteed approximation bounds are derive d in order to evaluate the quality of these relaxations.
