As the development of efficient semidefinite programming algorithms date from the early nineties, there is a lack of teaching experience in this field (at least when it is compared with other well established aspects of control theory). This paper proposes a simple way to introduce linear matrix inequalities in a control course. The main objective of the paper is to show that in the formulation of (robust) control problems as linear matrix inequalities a very reduced number of elementary technical results are required. It is illustrated how to introduce, in a progressive way, these technical results along with motivating examples. All of this is done in such a way that it facilitates the assimilation of this important subject. The presented methodology has been successfully applied for more than four years in a doctoral course on control theory.application/pdf6 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/LMITheoryRobustnessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.3182/20060621-3-ES-2905.00037
