In both the state-space and frequency domain, constant D, upper bound, a single D
scale is selected to guarantee robust performance over all frequencies. These two tests
(items i)andii) above) are equivalent. In the frequency domain upper bound test
(item iii)) a different D-scale is selected at each frequency.
The relationship between all of these tests is summarized by the following:

In the two cases where there are one way implications, there are real gaps. We have
already seen that there is a gap between the frequency domain µ test and its upper
bound for four or more full blocks. This is a computational issue.
