Recently, a novel method for feedback control of linear systems called          "Generalized Sampled-Data Hold Function Control" has received                   attention.  This method uses extensively the power of microprocessors.          The original feature of the method, as compared to conventional                 sampled data control, is that one of the design variables is the hold           function itself, rather than just the coefficients of the compensator.          A preliminary study has shown advantages of this method as compared to          dynamic compensation:  it has the efficacy of state feedback without            requiring state estimation, it easily allows simultaneous controller            design, it requires few on-line computations, but uses only computer            memory.  The purpose of this research is threefold.  The PI intends to          achieve a better understanding of the use of Generalized Sampled Data           Hold Functions by solving a greater variety of problems which are               specific to this method, to formulate and quantify all the design               tradeoffs involved, and to develop rules of thumb for use in the                practical implementation of this method.  Among specific problems to            investigate are:  inter-sampling behavior, period optimization,                 stability margin optimization, simultaneous stabilization, robust               synthesis, tracking and disturbance rejection, amplitude limitations,           and nonlinear system stabilization.
