6、 This paper deals with the problem of designing a controller when no accurate model is available for the process to be controlled.Specifically,the problem or stabilizing an uncertain linear system using state feedback control is considered.In this case the uncertain linear system consists of a linear system containing parameters whole values are unknown but bounded.That is,the values of these uncertain parameters are known to be contained with given compact bounding sets.Furthermore,th
