This site lets you download software (runs under Mathematica) for doing optimization over spaces of analytic functions, Anopt, and H-Infinity control design, OPTDesign. The methods and theory behind both of these programs are described in the book, "Classical Control Using H-Infinity Methods", or in a shorter version of the same book which tells you some basics of H-Infinity control design and illustrates use of the software OPTDesign. Both books are available through SIAM.

There are two versions of the book available:
The book is intended for three audiences: students, control theorists, and research mathematicians.
This book teaches control system design using H-Infinity techniques. The book can also serve to introduce the control software package OPTDesign, which runs under Mathematica. The short version of the book and the first parts of the longer version of the book are nearly identical and are aimed at students of control at any level who want an H-Infinity supplement to their control course.
The later parts of the longer version of the book treat the theory of H-Infinity control and should be valuable to control theorists and research mathematicians.
