Control system design involves input/output (IO) selection, that is, decisions on the number,
the place, and the type of actuators and sensors. The choice of inputs and outputs affects the …

There is a large variety of methods in literature for process design and control, which can be
classified into two main categories. The methods in the first category have a sequential …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

In this paper, we consider operation and control of the Petlyuk design. The degrees of
freedom are analyzed especially at steady state. These results together with steady-state …

This book thoroughly covers the fundamentals of the QFT robust control, as well as practical
control solutions, for unstable, time-delay, non-minimum phase or distributed parameter …

A procedure for sequential design of decentralized controllers for linear systems is
presented. It is shown how to include a simple estimate of the effect of closing subsequent …

A method is proposed in this paper to select the input signals for both single and multiple
flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices in small and large power systems. Different …

Thereare richtheories and designs for generalcontrolsystems, but usually, they will not lead
to PID controllers. Noting that the PID controller has been the most popular one in industry …

Introduction In spite of the extensive research of the previous decades in the field of input-
output pairing for linear multivariable plants, the input-output pairing problem of nonlinear …

This paper presents a new control-loop configuration criterion for multivariable processes.
Both the steady-state and transient information of the process transfer function are …
