h_infinity_norm

Returns H-infinity norm of a linear system using iterative methods.

The H-infinity norm of a MIMO system is traditionally calculated finding the largest SVD of the transfer function evaluated across the entire frequency spectrum. That can prove costly for a large number of evaluations, hence the iterative methods of [1] are employed.

In the case of a SISO system the H-infinity norm corresponds to the maximum frequency gain.

A scalar value is returned if the system is stable. If the system is unstable it returns np.Inf.
