Based on Ernest J. Gaines' National Book Critics Circle Award-winning novel, A lesson before dying is set in a small Louisiana Cajun community in the late 1940's. Jefferson, a young illiterate black man, is falsely convicted of murder and is sentenced to death. Grant Wiggins, the plantation schoolteacher, agrees to talk with the condemned man. The disheartened Wiggins had once harbored dreams of escaping from his impoverished youth, yet he returned to his home town after university, to teach children whose lives seemed as unpromising as Jefferson's. The two men forge a bond as they come to understand what it means to resist and defy one's own fate.

This project studies the application of new and advanced methods of control law synthesis for robust stabilization with respect to a combination of both unstructured model uncertainty (arising from neglected parasitic dynamics) and structured model uncertainty (arising from parametric variations which occur as flight conditions change). Efforts have focused on the characterization of a class of nonlinear models for longitudinal dynamics of aircraft in level flight subject to changes in static stability. Such 'relaxed stability' aircraft configurations are currently at issue in a wide variety of advanced designs including commercial transport and high performance aircraft. The control design approach employs H-infinity synthesis methods for optimal robust stabilization for the unstructured model uncertainty, and the requirement of worst case (i.e., robust) design for parametric uncertainty is included using a minimax optimization criteria. This study has focused on a class of flight control models with physically based parametric uncertainty. For these models, the solution of the minimax or worst case design is achieved by a straightforward procedure which can be readily combined with the requirements for robustness to parasitic dynamics using the closed form solution of the optical robust stabilization method.
