One of the most challenging problems in feedback control is strong stabilization, i.e. stabilization by a stable controller. This problem has been shown to be equivalent to finding a finite dimensional, real, rational and bounded unit in satisfying certain interpolation conditions. The problem is transformed into a classical Nevanlinna–Pick interpolation problem by using a predetermined structure for the unit interpolating function and analysed through the associated Pick matrix. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the bounded unit interpolating function are derived. Based on these conditions, an algorithm is proposed to compute the unit interpolating function through an optimal solution to the Nevanlinna–Pick problem. The conservatism caused by the sufficient conditions is illustrated through strong stabilization examples taken from the literature.
