Abstract

A number of criteria have been explored for analyzing cross interaction in multivariable systems (see Bristol (1966), McAvoy (1983), Jensen et al. (1986), Huang et al. (1994, 2003), Shinskey (1996), Lee and Edgar (2004), Salgado and Conley (2004), Skogestad and Postlethwaite (2005), and He et al. (2009)). Among these criteria, relative gain array (RGA) and singular value decomposition (SVD) have been widely recognized in practice, which are briefly introduced as follows.
