Abstract:

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 nonlinear system has been controlled. Thus, the structure of the objective function will be converted into a quadratic form which is qualitativly comparable with usual cost functions, and from operating viewpoint is more favorable. To qualify such a procedure, it has been applied to two minimum and nonminimum-phase chemical processes, and its performance is verified through computer simulations.

Nonlinear control of nonsquare multivariable systems

This paper is concerned with the synthesis of a nonlinear state feedback law for nonsquare multivariable nonlinear systems. Previous approaches in the literature have solved this problem by (1) squaring the system by discarding some inputs or by adding new outputs, or (2) by utilizing some inputs for input/output (I/O) linearization and the remaining inputs for minimizing cost. In this paper, a...

Gmv Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems

A Generalized Minimum Variance control law is derived for the control of nonlinear, possibly time-varying multivariable systems. The solution for the control law is original and was obtained in the time-domain using a simple operator representation of the process. The quadratic cost index involves both error and control signal costing terms. The controller obtained is simple to implement and in...

Robust control of multivariable two-time-scale nonlinear systems

This paper focuses on the synthesis of well-conditioned rnultivariable robust controllers for a broad class of multi-input multi-output two-time-scale nonlinear systems with time-varying uncertain variables, modeled within the framework of singular perturbations. The proposed controller stabilizes the fast dynamics, guarantees boundedness of trajectories, and ensures that the ultimate discrepan...

Stability Analyses of Nonlinear Multivariable Feedback Control Systems

In this paper, a practical limit cycle predicting method is proposed for analyzing stability of nonlinear multivariable feedback control systems. The stable limit cycle of the considered system is found first by six criteria for unity loop gains, and then the stability is evaluated for variable loop gains. It needs only to check maximal or minimal frequency points of root-loci of equivalent gai...

Second Order Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Multivariable Systems

The paper proposes an approach to second order sliding mode control for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear uncertain systems. With respect to standard sliding mode control, the second order sliding mode techniques for singleinput single-output (SISO) systems show the same properties of robustness and precision, feature a higher order accuracy and can be exploited to eliminate the chatter...
