This paper proposes to shed a new light on the μ-synthesis problem using the differential evolution algorithm. This algorithm allows optimizing simultaneously the structured controller and the dynamic (or static) D-scalings, which leads to robust performance controllers. This method has been applied successfully to a classical flexible plant control problem. A comparison between the evolutionary approach and the non-smooth optimization one has been envisaged proving the high potential of the proposed method.
