Abstract

A typical multivariable control problem requires the design of dynamic compensation to guarantee the following desirable behavior of the closed loop system.

  1. 1.

    Each of an assigned set of output variables converges to, or tracks, a corresponding observed reference input from a specified function class. This is the servo problem.

  2. 2.

    Each of an assigned set of output variables converges to zero from arbi-trary initial values, when the system is perturbed by possibly nonmeasur-able disturbances in a specified function class. This is the regulator problem; the convergent variables are said to be regulated; and zero represents the desired or set-point value.
