Engineering How Can I Find the H-infinity Norm of a Transfer Function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the H-infinity norm of a transfer function, specifically ##\|G\|_\infty##, using calculus methods instead of Bode plots. The user expresses difficulty in graphing and prefers to find the minimum value of the expression ##|G(i\omega)|=1/\sqrt{(25−\omega^2)^2+9\omega^2}## through differentiation. They initially miscalculated the denominator, estimating it to be around 24.21, but later corrected their maximum value to approximately 1/14.30908802.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of transfer functions in control theory
  • Familiarity with H-infinity norm concepts
  • Basic calculus, including differentiation
  • Knowledge of Bode plots and their application
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the H-infinity norm for various transfer functions
  • Learn how to effectively use Bode plots for stability analysis
  • Explore advanced calculus techniques for optimization problems
  • Investigate numerical methods for calculating norms of complex functions
USEFUL FOR

Control engineers, students studying control systems, and anyone involved in system stability analysis will benefit from this discussion.

I want to find ##\|G\|_\infty##, the solution in the pic uses the Bode plot. But to tell you the truth I am worse at drawing it.
So basically what I thought is I want to find: ##|G(i\omega)|=1/\sqrt{(25−\omega^2)^2+9\omega^2}##.
So basically I much prefer to find the minimum value of what is in the sqrt from highschool calculus methods (differentiating and equating to zero).
I found something of the sort of 24.21 in the denominator, which is close to 25 but far from 15.
Am I correct in my reasoning?

never mind I get the max is at 1/14.30908802. I had some really bad error.
