Abstract: This paper intends to describe a software tool for algebraic design of continuous-time control under assumption of interval plants. The program takes advantage of the MATLAB + Simulink + Polynomial Toolbox environment and it represents an easy but effective and user-friendly way to control synthesis, robust stability analysis and simulation. The product, which can be used both for research and educational purposes, is freely available on the internet.

Keywords: algebraic control; parametric uncertainty; graphical user interface; GUI; MATLAB; polynomial toolbox; interval systems; continuous-time control; synthesis; stability analysis; simulation.
