Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of approximating the real structured singular value (real μ). A negative result is provided which shows that the problem of checking if μ=0 is NP-hard. This result is much more negative than the known NP-hard result for the problem of checking if μ0 (even exponential functions of n), unless NP=P. A similar statement holds for the lower bound of μ. Our result strengthens a recent result by Toker, which demonstrates that obtaining a sublinear approximation for μ is NP-hard
