Abstract
Feedback systems are designed to meet many different objectives. Yet, not all design objectives are achievable as desired due to the fact that they are often mutually conflicting and that system properties themselves may impose design constraints and thus limitations on the performance attainable. An important step in the control design process is then to assess and analyze what and how system characteristics may impose constraints and, accordingly, how to make tradeoffs between different objectives by judiciously navigating between the constraints. Fundamental limitation of feedback control is an area of research that addresses these constraints, limitations, and tradeoffs.
