A high gain PI controller for a class of nonlinear systems
S.X. Xing,Edward J. Davison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotic tracking problem is considered for a class of multivariable nonlinear systems by using the principles of singular perturbation theory, and sufficient conditions together with a high-gain PI controller are given for a solution to exist.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Systematic Design of Control Systems for Large Multivariable Linear Time-Invariant Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic design procedure for determining realistic feedforward feedback control systems for large multivariable linear constant systems is outlined, and a numerical example of a boiler system and a distillation column is included and a comparison of the simulated response of the controlled systems obtained by the proposed method is made with the corresponding conventional control systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Robust Conjugate-Gradient-Penalty Function Algorithm for Solving General Constrained Optimization Problems with Application to Computer-Aided Design
W. Gesing,Edward J. Davison +1 more
TL;DR: An exact penalty function type of algorithm is proposed to solve a general class of constrained parameter optimization problems to solve some computer-aided design problems occurring in the area of control system synthesis.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
On the stability and eigenvalue location of a class of composite systems
Umit Ozguner,Edward J. Davison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a class of interconnected systems composed of subsystems connected to form a simple loop are analyzed and a number of very simple tests for stability and stabilizability of such systems are developed.
