Abstract

Owing to the fact that a relay feedback test can generate sustained oscillations of the controlled output for closed-loop identification, model identification from the relay feedback has attracted significantly increasing attentions in the process control community, since the pioneering works of the 1980s, see Atherton (1982), Tsypkin (1984), Åström and Hägglund (1984), and Luyben (1987).
