It has become increasingly apparent this last decade that many problems in systems and control are NP-hard and, in some cases, undecidable. The inherent complexity of some of the most elementary problems in systems and control points to the necessity of using alternative approximate techniques to deal with problems that are unsolvable or intractable when exact solutions are sought.

Although champagne has been offered for its solution, the following simple-looking problem is still unsolved (see below for more details): For what values of δ is the system $$ {p_\delta }\left( s \right) = \frac{{{s^2} - 1}}{{{s^2} - 2s + 1}} $$ stabilizable by a stable controller whose inverse is also stable?
