First sentence: The synthesis of controllers basically involves two steps: (i) the design step, where the goal is to construct a control algorithm for a given system to satisfy certain performance specifications; and (ii) the analysis step; where the goal is to verify the closed-loop system behavior (e.g., stability properties) once the controller has been designed.
