In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...

closed-loop supply chain network design is a critical issue due to its impact on both economic and environmental performances of the supply chain. in this paper, we address the problem of designing a multi-echelon, multi-product and capacitated closed-loop supply chain network. first, a mixed-integer linear programming formulation is developed to maximize the total profit. the main contribution...

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate electrode temperatures obtained using a radiofrequency ablation system that incorporates closed loop feedback control to achieve preset target electrode temperatures and to determine if closed loop temperature control results in a lower incidence of developing a coagulum. Methods and Results Two hundred seventy patients underwent catheter abl...

This paper presents a pole-placement based control algorithm to treat ISA Fieldbus H1 delay problems. A digital network delay model is embedded with the process model in order to design a suitable closed-loop controller. The effect of different values of network delay against sampling time is analyzed. Pole-placement technique should not simplify zeros in order to achieve stability in closed-lo...

In this paper, a systematic overview of PLL-based closed-loop control methods for interleaved DCM/CCM boundary boost PFC converters is presented. It is shown that the PLL-based closed-loop methods always provide stable operation, unlike the open-loop control methods, where the only method which results in stable operation is the slave synchronization to the turn-on instant of the master with cu...

this paper presents h∞ control problem for input-delayed systems. a neutral system approach is considered to the design of pd controller for input delay systems in presence of uncertain time-invariant delay. using this approach, the resulting closed-loop system turns into a specific time-delay system of neutral type. the significant specification of this neutral system is that its delayed coeff...
