The extraordinary development of digital computers (microprocessors, microcontrollers) and
their extensive use in control systems in all fields of applications has brought about …

PID control is a control strategy that has been successfully used over many years. Simplicity,
robustness, a wide range of applicability and near-optimal performance are some of the …

This monograph presents our recent results on the proportional-integr-derivative (PID)
controller and its design, analysis, and synthesis. The fo cus is on linear time-invariant plants …

Extremum seeking (ES) tunes PID controllers by minimizing a cost function that
characterizes the desired behavior of the closed-loop system. This tuning method is …

For a class of robot arms, a proportional-derivative (PD) controller plus gravity compensation
yields the global asymptotic stability for regulation tasks, and some proportional-integral …

This paper describes the mechanical behavior of the 6061-T6 aluminium alloy at room
temperature for various previous thermal histories representative of an electron beam …

Successfully classroom-tested at the graduate level, Linear Control Theory: Structure,
Robustness, and Optimization covers three major areas of control engineering (PID control …

In many industrial applications, the existing constraints mandate the use of controllers of low
and fixed order while typically, modern methods of optimal control produce high-order …

Recently, a great deal of effort has been dedicated to capitalising on advances in
mathematical control theory in conjunction with tried-and-tested classical control structures …

The paper presents relations for PI and PID controller tuning based on a generalization of
the relations after symmetrical optimum (SO) method, introduced by Kessler …
