On Sensitivity Property of Multivariable Feedback Control Systems

Optimal Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems

This paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. An appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. In this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (IOFL). Then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated ...

A Relationship Between Sensitivity and Stability of Multivariable Feedback Systems

U NDER the assumptions that a plant is completely deterministic and perfectly modeled, either open-loop compensation or closed-loop compensation can be used to achieve a desired overall design. However, the assumptions of determinism and perfect modeling are never satisfied in practice. When these assumptions do not hold, feedback control systems can possess properties such as stability, sensit...
