A computational approach is proposed to solve the minimum norm and/or robust pole assignment problem for linear periodic discrete-time systems. The proposed approach uses a periodic Sylvester equation based parametrization of the periodic pole assignment problem and exploits the non-uniqueness of the problem by imposing conditions on the norm of the resulting periodic state feedback and/or on t...

– The paper presents an effective procedure for control design of multi input – multi output nonlinear processes. The procedure is based on an approximation of a nonlinear model of the process by a continuoustime external linear model in the form of the left polynomial matrix fraction. The parameters of the continuoustime external linear model are recursively estimated either by a direct method...

-This paper presents the application of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering in the order reduction of dynamic models for controller design in a power system. Based on the fuzzy c-means algorithm, a method is proposed for clustering the poles and zeros of the original power system model into new clusters from which a reduced-order model can be obtained. Then the reduced-order model is used to design ...
