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

AI Thread Summary
To find the H-infinity norm of a transfer function, the user initially considers using the Bode plot but struggles with it. They express a preference for calculating the minimum value of the function |G(iω)| using calculus methods, specifically differentiation. The user calculates a value of approximately 24.21 for the denominator, questioning its accuracy in relation to expected values. Ultimately, they realize their earlier calculations contained errors, determining the maximum value is actually 1/14.30908802. The discussion highlights the challenges of finding the H-infinity norm through analytical methods.

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.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
