This is a tutorial on the mathematical theory and process control applications of linear matrix
inequalities (LMIs) and bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Many convex inequalities …

Multivariable control techniques solve issues of complex specification and modelling errors
elegantly but the complexity of the underlying mathematics is much higher than presented in …

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 …

Industrial Process Identification and Control Design is devoted to advanced identification
and control methods for the operation of continuous-time processes both with and without …

Difficulties caused by the interactions are always encountered in the design of multi-loop
control systems for MIMO processes. To overcome the difficulties, a multi-loop system is …

The. &trom-Hagglund autotuner is extended to multivariable systems. The proposed
multivariable automatic tuning performs the identification-design procedure in a sequential …

This paper presents practical on/off-line tuning rules for state-space MPC controllers. Based
on the frequency-domain analysis of the closed-loop behavior of MPC controllers, the effect …

A novel direct synthesis (DS) method for simultaneous and non-iterative design of multi-loop
PID controllers for stable multivariable processes is presented in this article. We deal with …

Underlying algorithms for designing multivariable decoupling and multiloop PI/PID
controllers in a sequential fashion are addressed. A single-loop technique, composed of …

The procedure for independent design of robust decentralized controllers proposed by
Skogestad and Morari is improved by requiring that each individual controller is of the …
