U.S.-Iceland Cooperative Research: Multiple Inputs - Multiple Outputs (MIMO) Control Design

该奖项由罗格斯大学国际项目部支持，允许罗格斯大学的Marianthi Ierapetritou与雷克雅未克冰岛大学的Anna S. Hauksdottir教授合作。该项目将通过同时解耦和极点放置来消除经典方法中出现的不变零点，为多输入多输出系统的控制开发方法和解决方案。与其他方法相比，该方法具有较好的反馈鲁棒性。该项目将经典控制理论与优化和过程系统工程的最新进展相结合。该方法可以缓解其他现代技术存在的问题，并且可以对更好地理解反馈控制系统中的基本限制、约束和权衡产生影响。研究结果将影响该方法在化学工程问题以及一般多输入多输出问题中的应用。

This award supported by the Division of International Programs allows Marianthi Ierapetritou of Rutgers University to collaborate with Prof. Anna S. Hauksdottir of the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. The project will develop methods and solutions for the control of multiple-input multiple-output systems by simultaneous decoupling and pole placement with canceling the invariant zeros that arise in classical methods. In contrast to other methods, this procedure will give the system feedback robustness.This project will combine classical control theory with state-of-the-art advances in optimization and process systems engineering. The method should alleviate problems that exist with other modern techniques and can have an impact in better understanding the fundamental limitations, constraints, and trade-offs in feedback control systems. The results should impact the application of the method to chemical engineering problems as well as to multiple-input multiple-output problems in general.
