ROBUST STABILITY ANALYSIS OF GENERIC MODEL CONTROL

Abstract

In this paper, the robust stability of Generic Model Control (GMC) is analyzed under the condition that the explicit control law is available. This anslysis is performed by finding a strict Lyapunov function for the nominal process and applying a perturbation theorem. Based on the passivity theorem, a procedure to synthesize a robust stable GMC controller is proposed for a given set of processes. The significance of this approach is discussed as well as its disadvantages.
