A Multivariate Quality Control Procedure in Multistage Production Systems

In this paper a multivariate quality control procedure is offered in which several correlated stages are present in production systems and in each stage there are several correlated control variable. Using Hotelling's T2 statistic, first, each stage is tested for being out of control. Then out of control variables are selected using Murphy's method. The remainder of the research involves evalua...

A Variable Structure Observer Based Control Design for a Class of Large scale MIMO Nonlinear Systems

This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...

a sufficient condition for null controllability of nonlinear control systems

classical control methods such as pontryagin maximum principle and bang-bang principle and other methods are not usually useful for solving opti-mal control systems (ocs) specially optimal control of nonlinear systems (ocns). in this paper, we introduce a new approach for solving ocns by using some combination of atomic measures. we define a criterion for controllability of lumped nonlinear con...

Guaranteed-cost control of polynomial nonlinear systems

This paper deals with the control of polynomial nonlinear systems which are affine in the control. We use Bernstein polynomials and Polytopic Linear Differential Inclusion (PLDI) to design gain-scheduled controllers using a guaranteed cost framework.
