Abstract: We consider uncertain linear systems where the uncertainties, in addition to being bounded, also satisfy constraints on their phase. In this context, we define the ``phase-sensitive structured singular value'' (PS-SSV) of a matrix, and show that sufficient (and sometimes necessary) conditions for stability of such uncertain linear systems can be rewritten as conditions involving PS-SSV. We then derive upper bounds for PS-SSV, computable via convex optimization. We extend these results to the case where the uncertainties are structured (diagonal or block-diagonal, for instance).
