It is shown that using the closed-loop H-infinity norm as fitness measure in a population-based, evolutionary search does not require the computation of the H-infinity norm for each controller of the population. Instead, the fact that evolutionary algorithms assign fitness measures to individuals based on a ranking is exploited and a bisection approach is proposed that allows to trade accuracy that is not needed against computational efficiency without loosing information. Three design examples are used to illustrate the improvement in computational speed achieved with the proposed method.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Robust ControlEvolutionary AlgorithmsRanking SelectionH-infinityBisectionTechnology::600: TechnologyConference Paper2006-10-16urn:nbn:de:gbv:830-opus-315010.15480/882.247Robuste RegelungOptimierung11420/24910.15480/882.247930767952Conference Paper
