Summary:We establish robust stability of feedback interconnections of linear time-invariant systems with potentially marginally stable open-loop poles via frequency-varying quadratic constraints. These constraints may be used to characterise numerous system properties, such as small-gain, passivity, negative imaginariness, and their weighted variants, that are manifested on different band-limited frequencies. Such systems arise in practical mechanical settings where force actuators and displacement/velocity sensors are not colocated. We demonstrate that frequency-limited system properties may be characterised using the powerful Iwasaki-Hara lemma in terms of convex feasibility problems involving linear matrix inequalities, thereby complementing the utility of the Iwasaki-Hara lemma for robust feedback stability analysis involving mixed system properties on the frequency axis.
