Cyclic processes can be characterized by two time variables, viz, the time within a cycle and the cycle index, each carrying a distinct connotation of time. Conventional optimal control theory does not explicitly account for these two dimensions (2D) of time that characterize cyclic systems. In this paper, we study the control of cyclic process using Model Predictive control (MPC). The proposed approach uses a 2D Lyapunov function and the stability requirements are established along each time dimension of the system. The resulting controller synthesis problem is expressed in convex form using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The approach allows incorporation of input/output constraints in the proposed 2D MPC framework. An example of a cyclic process is presented to establish the applicability of the proposed approach.

We study the problem of multivariable anti-windup controller synthesis that incorporates trade-offs between unconstrained linear performance and constrained anti- windup performance. In our previous work [13], we presented a framework for simultaneous design of a linear output feedback controller and a static anti-windup compensator using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). This framework deviated from the conventional two step paradigm of anti-windup by proposing a one-step synthesis while still maintaining the anti-windup structure. However, the work in [13] did not provide conclusive demonstration of the efficacy of this formulation through realistic practical examples. In this paper, we further study the framework in [13] and explicitly demonstrate its capability in providing effective constrained anti-windup controller performance for two benchmark problems, viz. a vibration isolation table and a multivariable model for the longitudinal dynamics of an F8 aircraft.

This paper deals with the synthesis of linear feedback controllers for constrained discrete-time linear systems with polytopic uncertainty description. This problem was initially tackled using ellipsoidal robust invariant sets in the paper by Kothare (Kothare et al., Automatica, 1996) leading to an LMI-based optimization problem. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First the aforementioned method is extended to also take into account mixed state/input constraints and cross-terms between states and inputs in the objective function. Secondly, polyhedral invariant sets (Pluymers et al., ACC, 2005) are introduced in the synthesis algorithm in order to eliminate conservative constraint handling. This results in a provably more optimal feedback controller. The resulting method can either be used on-line in a receding horizon fashion to obtain a robust constrained controller or off-line in order to obtain a feedback controller with a guaranteed feasible region for use in dual-mode or other robust model-based predictive control algorithms. A numerical example is given to illustrate the new algorithm

We present a method for the synthesis of a control law which incorporates both a traditional linear output-feedback controller as well as a static anti-windup compensator. Unlike traditional anti-windup controller design in which the linear controller and anti-windup compensator are designed sequentially, our method synthesizes all controller parameters simultaneously, thus providing a priori account of the effects of saturation on the closed-loop dynamics. Moreover, we derive sufficient conditions for the quadratic stability and (possibly) multiple performance bounds on the closed-loop dynamics such that the entire synthesis is cast as an optimization problem over linear matrix inequalitics (LMIs).

We present a stabilizing scheduled output feedback Model Predictive control (MPC) algorithm for constrained nonlinear systems with large operating regions. We design a set of local output feedback predictive controllers with their estimated regions of stability covering the desired operating region, and implement them as a single scheduled output feedback MPC which on-line switches between the set of local controllers and achieves nonliilear transitions with guaranteed stability. This algorithm provides a general framework for scheduled output feedback MPC design.

The paper presents a new deterministic framework for assessing constrained control loop performance. The proposed dynamic performance index is based on the dynamic operating work of Uztürk and Georgakis (2002). It focuses on the time related characteristics of controllers' response to set-point changes or steptype disturbances. It explicitly takes into account the existence of constraints on manipulated variables. These constraints include minimum and maximum values as well as an upper limit on the rate of change of the input variables.
