1. A method for providing an output response from a physical system, the method comprising:
- selecting a command input to be applied to a physical system having a fundamental natural frequency (fn);
obtaining a frequency spectra of a derivative of the command input;
determining whether the robustness of the command input meets or exceeds a desired level of robustness based on the width of a frequency notch in the frequency spectra; and
applying the command input to the physical system to obtain an output response if the robustness of the command input meets or exceeds the desired level of robustness.

Abstract
Robust Vibration Suppression methods and systems providing improved robustness range and are effective in single or multiple degree of freedom systems are disclosed. Methods disclosed include providing an output response from a physical system by selecting a command input to be applied to a physical system based on robustness and/or noise generation potential as determined by analyzing the frequency spectra of a derivative of the command inputs.
