This paper presents a frequency domain analysis toward the robustness, convergence speed, and steady-state error for general linear time invariant (LTI) iterative learning control (ILC) for single-input-single-output (SISO) LTI systems and demonstrates the optimality of norm-optimal iterative learning control (NO-ILC) in terms of balancing the tradeoff between robustness, convergence speed, and steady-state error. The key part of designing LTI ILC updating laws is to choose the Q-filter and learning gain to achieve the desired robustness and performance, i.e., convergence speed and steady-state error. An analytical equation that characterizes these three terms for NO-ILC has been previously presented in the literature. For general LTI ILC updating laws, however, this relationship is still unknown. Adopting a frequency domain analysis approach, this paper characterizes this relationship for LTI ILC updating laws and, subsequently, demonstrates the optimality of NO-ILC in terms of balancing the tradeoff between robustness, convergence speed, and steady-state error.
