Much has been written about the general difficulty of developing the models required for
model-based control of processes whose dynamics exhibit signif icant nonlinearity (for …

This monograph provides insight and fundamental understanding into the feedback control
of nonlinear and hybrid process systems. It presents state-of-the-art methods for the …

This work focuses on control of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear processes with
uncertain dynamics and actuator constraints. A Lyapunov-based nonlinear controller design …

The objective of this work is to make use of methodologies and tools from Lyapunov theory
in the design of bounded control laws for the temperature stabilisation of a class of …

An input-output linearization strategy for constrained nonlinear processes is proposed. The
system may have constraints on both the manipulated input and the controlled output. The …

This work focuses on the development of a unified practical framework for control of single-
input–single-output nonlinear processes with uncertainty and actuator constraints. Using a …

This paper is devoted to the temperature control and the stabilization under input constraints
of exothermic chemical reactors. We first consider a reactor in which a single and exothermic …

In this chapter, the basic theory of feedback linearization is presented and issues of
particular relevance to process control applications are discussed. Two fundamental …

The interest in control of particulate processes has been triggered by the need to achieve
tight distributed control of size distributions that greatly influence particulate product …

The aim of this letter is to study the stabilization of a class of continuous-stirred tank reactors
in the face of control input saturations and uncertain chemical kinetics. A first-order …
