H/sub /spl infin// design of an EMS control system for a maglev vehicle using evolutionary algorithms

An evolutionary algorithm approach is proposed for the H/sub /spl infin// design of an EMS control system for a maglev vehicle. The algorithm is used in conjunction with an H/sub /spl infin// loop-shaping design procedure to search over a space of possible weighting function structures and parameter values in order to satisfy a number of conflicting design criteria.
